By The Numbers - Andreas Athanasiou

In Greek mythology, the god Hermes is the god of speed and is often depicted wearing wings on his sandals.
Detroit forward Andreas Athanasiou may not be a mythical Greek god, but with his blinding speed it's not too far of a stretch to believe he indeed has wings on his skates.

Since he made his Red Wings' debut in November of 2015, Athanasiou has been bringing Detroit fans out of their seats with his speed, agility and a goal scorer's finishing touch.
He has made the most of his ice time and last season was among the league leaders in scoring 5-on-5 based on his average ice time.
However, like many young offensive-minded players, Athanasiou is still developing a two-way game, which has limited his ice time.
Red Wings officials are counting on the 22-year-old forward to continue to work on becoming a two-way player and are encouraged by his progress made last season, especially when he was paired with center Dylan Larkin.
Athanasiou is a restricted free agent (RFA), but he does not have arbitration rights, so his new deal could take all summer to hash out. It is believed once a contract is agreed upon, it will be a short-term deal.
