Dylan Larkin News

Larkin was used sparingly during training camp while recovering from an upper-body injury, and missed the opening two games of the regular season. The 30-year-old had an eventful offseason after publicly demanding a trade, leaving Red Wings fans highly critical of their former captain. He is expected to play tonight for the Red Wings pending clearance from doctors later today.

Larkin was used sparingly during training camp while recovering from an upper-body injury, and he will miss at least the first two games of the season for the Red Wings. The 30-year-old had an eventful offseason after publicly demanding a trade after posting 34 goals, 67 points, and 48 PIMs in 74 games.

Detroit's ex-captain missed the Red Wings' previous three preseason games with an upper-body injury and will remain out on Saturday as the team closes out the preseason vs. Columbus. The 30-year-old had an eventful offseason after publicly demanding a trade after posting 34 goals, 67 points, and 48 PIMs in 74 games.

Larkin practiced with the Red Wings on Wednesday for the first time since his highly publicized offseason trade request. Head Coach Todd McLellan suggested Larkin is progressing and could draw into the lineup for the final preseason game on Saturday. Despite the trade request, the Red Wings remain thin at center ice and will need to rely heavily on Larkin for offensive production.

Despite the public trade request, it was reported last week that Larkin would be there when training camp opens, but his upper-body injury will keep him off the ice when it gets underway on Thursday.

Larkin was a surprise scratch on Wednesday, with the Red Wings only announcing his absence shortly before puck drop. It's unclear whether he is dealing with an undisclosed injury or if he's simply getting the night off for maintenance.

Larkin has been sidelined since suffering a lower-body injury on March 6th, but will return to the lineup on Tuesday against the Ottawa Senators. The Red Wings have stayed afloat without Larkin, going 3-3-1, but will be eager for him to return and add some much needed offense. The 29-year-old Larkin has 55 pints (28G / 27A) in 63 games this season.

Larkin was on the ice again, but did not take part in line rushes and will not play in Saturday's game vs. Boston. Red Wings' head coach Todd McLellan said that he's getting closer to being "day-to-day," so consider him questionable to play Tuesday vs. the Senators.

On March 12th, Red Wings' Head Coach Todd McLellan indicated that Larkin will be out for two weeks, but after returning to practice on Thursday, he could be trending towards an earlier return. The Red Wings, also without Andrew Copp (lower body), are hurting at the center position and will be eager to get Larkin back into the lineup as they continue their late-season push to return to the playoffs.

Initially hopeful to be an option on Detroit's four-game road trip, Larkin's return has been delayed for approximately two more weeks. With Andrew Copp (lower body) also out for the same timeframe, the Red Wings' depth at center ice will be put to the test while they battle for a playoff spot.

Initially hopeful to be an option on Detroit's four-game road trip, Larkin's return seems to be delayed until at least March 16th, when the team returns home to host the Calgary Flames. Andrew Copp (lower body) also suffered an injury on Tuesday, adding to the Red Wings' current lack of center depth.

Larkin left Friday's loss to the Panthers after suffering a non-contact injury on a shot attempt. It didn't look good, but head coach Todd McLellan told reporters post-game that he doesn’t think it's long-term. He added that Larkin will undergo further evaluation to determine a timeline for his return.

Larkin was the victim of a vicious cross-check late in the third period of Wednesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Vegas Golden Knights and had difficulty regaining composure and exiting the ice, but seemingly avoided major repercussions after returning to the ice in overtime. That said, the 29-year-old Larkin was absent from practice on Thursday, and his status is unclear heading into Friday's game against the Florida Panthers.

Larkin concluded his participation at the Olympics with a Gold Medal victory for the USA on Sunday and is anticipating playing when the Red Wings return to action on Thursday against the Ottawa Senators. The 29-year-old Larkin was impactful at the Olympics, playing an integral middle-six role and scoring three points (2G/1A) in six games. Larkin has 51 points (26G / 25A) in 58 games this season and will look to continue his near point-per-game pace as the Red Wings continue their battle for playoff positioning.

Larkin returned to practice in a full capacity on Wednesday for the first time since suffering a lower-body injury on March 2nd and appears ready to play on Thursday. Before his injury, Larkin led the Red Wings with 54 points (26G / 28A) in 55 games while averaging 3.0 shots per night.
