In the season 1953/54, the Detroit Red Wings were no longer help to bring the talented striker in their squad. With four assists in his first NHL game he set a still valid record. He storms in a row with Gordie Howe and Ted Lindsay and fulfilled expectations. With 48 points in his first year he made it into the top ten scorers in the NHL, but when choosing the Calder Memorial Trophy was pulled Camille Henry before as the best rookie. In the two following years he was to be found among the Topscorern and since he had only received ten minutes of penalties in the 1955/56 season, he was awarded the Lady Byng Memorial Trophy.

After his performance eased somewhat in the following years, he was released to the Chicago Blackhawks in December 1957. The change was a rough cut in his career and he could not build on past achievements. For next season they gave it to the Boston Bruins on.
