Detroit Red Wings forward Dylan Larkin is an awfully good hockey player and apparently an even better person.
Following his overtime dagger against the Toronto Maple Leafs at Scotiabank Arena on Thursday night, Larkin gave his stick to a lucky young fan in the crowd.

Larkin then invited the young Red Wings supporter to the team's locker room after the game for a meet-and-greet and photo op.

It's no surprise many project Larkin - a Michigan native and former Wolverine - to be the Red Wings' next captain.
