Chicago Blackhawks centre Dylan Strome, right, controls the puck against Detroit Red Wings centre Dylan Larkin during the second period of an NHL hockey game on Feb. 10 in Chicago. Coming into 2018-19, the centre had registered four goals and six assists in just 28 career NHL games. “It kind of came out of nowhere,” Strome said of the trade when the Blackhawks were in Toronto last week. Strome wasn’t prepared for failure, especially on a personal level, at the start of his NHL career. “He just needed that chance.” It’s a chance Strome doesn’t plan on wasting after some difficult times.
