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.

Larkin has been excellent for the Red Wings this season but will miss approximately two weeks due to a lower-body injury, a devasting blow for a team amid a playoff race. Larkin leads the Red Wings with 54 points (26G / 28A) in 55 games while averaging 3.0 shots per night. J.T. Compher will likely be the center iceman seeing the greatest increase in deployment during Larkin's absence.

Larkin suffered an upper-body injury on December 9th and subsequently missed four games but will return to action on Monday against the Anaheim Ducks. The Red Wings struggled in Larkin's absence, being outscored 18-11 in five games (1-4-0). At morning skate on Monday, Larkin was centring a line with Joe Veleno and Patrick Kane and occupying a spot on the top powerplay unit. Before his injury, Larkin was riding a six-game point streak, scoring eight points (6G / 2A) in the process.

Although in a non-contact jersey, Larkin's presence at practice was a positive sign for the Red Wings as he appears to have avoided a worst-case injury. Larkin will not play this weekend and will be re-evaluated next week. Before his injury, Larkin had eight points (6G / 2A) during a six-game point streak.

Larkin exited Saturday's contest against the Ottawa Senators, playing only 5:26 time-on-ice, after a scary incident that left him motionless on the ice for several moments. Larkin was able to skate off the ice with the help of his teammates but will be out of the lineup for a minimum of one week as he has been placed on the injured reserve. Zach Aston-Reese and Austin Czarnik have both been recalled from the Grand Rapids Griffins of the AHL. Larkin's absence creates a void at the center-ice position for the Red Wings, who are already without J.T. Compher (soreness).
