In Red Wings Land

By the Numbers: Anthony Mantha | DetroitRedWings.com

48 -- Mantha finished with 48 points (25-23-48) in 67 games. That tied Mantha’s career best, set in 2017-18. But in that season, Mantha needed 80 games to reach that mark.

If I was a betting man (I’m not), I’d wager a decent amount of money that Anthony Mantha will top his career best 48 points this upcoming season. He’s going to hit the 30-goal mark and serve up plenty of spicy meatballs for the Red Wings.

“For as long as I can remember, my whole off-season until this point has been hockey and doing what was necessary to prepare for the upcoming season. Because of my current indecision, and without the type of mental and physical commitment that I’m accustomed to having, I’ve decided to step away from the game.
