A CLOSER LOOK: Wide receiver Isaac TeSlaa
Bambini’s take: TeSlaa, from just outside Grand Rapids, Michigan, joins a Lions wide receiver room that features Amon-Ra St. Brown, Williams, Tim Patrick, and Kalif Raymond as the top four. TeSlaa will have the chance to develop into another weapon for quarterback Jared Goff. Though not producing high-ranking numbers, TeSlaa had zero drops at Arkansas, proving his consistency in catching the ball. He’ll also likely have an opportunity on special teams, an area where he played on the punt return and punt coverage teams for the Razorbacks.
What he had to say: “I think teams appreciate the way I play using my size, my hands obviously, (I) don’t drop a lot of balls which they really appreciate. I use my frame, catch the ball, run good, clean routes.” — TeSlaa after his Pro Day at Arkansas

Dylan Larkin’s tiebreaking goal in 3rd period sends Detroit Red Wings to 4-2 win over San Jose Sharks
Dylan Larkin scored the go-ahead goal early in the third period and the surging Detroit Red Wings beat the San Jose Sharks 4-2 on Friday night.
Marco Kasper scored his first goal in 37 games and added an assist to help Detroit win for the fifth time in six games. Alex DeBrincat scored his team-high 25th goal and J.T. Compher had the other goal for the Red Wings.
Lucas Raymond had three assists and James van Riemsdyk added two. John Gibson made 20 saves.
Will Smith scored for San Jose in his return from an upper-body injury that cost him 13 games. Collin Graf had the other Sharks goal and Macklin Celebrini, the NHL’s third-leading scorer with 72 points, added an assist. Celebrini has 32 points in his last 18 games.
Yaroslav Askarov stopped 21 shots for the Sharks, who had won seven of nine.
Detroit converted on its first power play when Raymond set up DeBrincat, who ripped a one-timer from the left circle into the net.
Smith tied it midway through the first period after Celebrini’s shot from the high slot tumbled over Gibson and rolled toward the goal line. Smith tucked the puck into the net.
Graf tipped in a pass from Nick Leddy at 1:58 of the second to give the Sharks the lead. Kasper’s pass through the legs of a defender set up Compher’s goal five minutes later, tying it 2-all.
Larkin jammed the puck between the post and Askarov’s pad at 4:41 of the third to give the Red Wings a 3-2 advantage. Kasper ended his scoring drought on an empty-netter with 1:32 remaining.
Sharks: Visit the Florida Panthers on Monday.
Red Wings: Host the Ottawa Senators on Sunday.
