Thomas Vanek's renaissance continues.
The Detroit Red Wings forward showed off his playmaking abilities Wednesday night against the Boston Bruins, finding Andreas Athanasiou for a second-period goal with a beautiful behind-the-back pass.
It was Vanek's 19th assist and 31st point in the 34th game of the season for the veteran, who signed a one-year deal with the Red Wings on July 1.
A disappointing 2015-16 campaign led the Minnesota Wild to buy out the final year of his previous contract, but those days appear to be long forgotten for the 32-year-old.
Vanek extended his point streak to seven games with Wednesday night's slick assist, giving him five goals and five helpers over that span.
