Oct. 22 vs. VAN – 5-2 L Anthony Mantha notched his team-leading 7th goal of the year and ended a 4-game, 0-for-8 PP skid…Mantha’s 7 goals this month mark the most that any DET player has scored in the 1st month of the season since Gustav Nyquist had 7 in October 2014…Dennis Cholowski, a Langley, BC, native, scored against his hometown team for the 1st time in his career, notching his 1st goal of the season and 1st PPG for DET by someone other than Mantha…DET scored twice on the PP for the 1st time since 3/31/18 vs. BOS…Evgeny Svechnikov skated in his 1st NHL game since 4/3/18, logging 2 shots and 2 PIM in 7:28 TOI.

MR. OCTOBER Anthony Mantha has scored 7 goals in October and can join an exclusive list should he score again in the team’s remaining 4 October games, something that has only happened 11 times for DET since 1979-80.

Goals in October, since 1979-80: 10 goals: (2007-08), (2001-02), (1993-94), Steve Yzerman (1992-93), Petr Klima (1986-87) 9 goals: none 8 goals: Tomas Holmstrom (2007-08), Sergei Fedorov (2002-03), Steve Yzerman (1987-88, 1988-89, 1989-90, 1990-91) 7 goals: Anthony Mantha (2019-20) … (tied with 16 others)

FANTASTIC FOUR Anthony Mantha was named the NHL’s Second Star of the Week on Oct. 7 after racking up 7 points (5-2-7) in his first 2 games, including a 4-goal game on Oct. 6 vs. DAL. The 4-goal output represented a long list of accolades:

* 2nd career hat trick and 2nd in his last 6 regular-season games (3/31/19 vs. BOS) * 1st natural hat trick for DET since Henrik Zetterberg (3/19/08 vs. CBJ) * 1st 4-goal game for DET since Johan Franzen’s 5-goal game (2/2/11 at OTT) * 1st 4-goal game for DET at home since Brendan Shanahan (3/15/01 vs. CGY) * Give him the 3rd-most points in franchise history in DET’s first 2 games of a season behind Carl Liscombe (3-6-9 in 1942-43) and Syd Howe (2-6-8 in 1944-45) * 6th player in franchise history to have a hat trick in a home opener (and 2nd to score 4), and the 3rd to do so in the last 5 years: Mike Green (2016), Justin Abdelkader (2015), Brendan Shanahan (1998), (1945) and John Sorrell (who had 4 in 1933)

Mantha became the 10th player in DET history to score 6-or-more goals in the team’s first 5 games, and the 20th to score 5-or-more.

LEADING THE CHARGE Dating back to the final 8 games of 2018-19, DET’s top line ranks among the highest scoring players in the NHL (with Dylan Larkin just 2 points out of the top 10 at 18 points)
