Larkin (upper body) is centering the first line at training camp Thursday, Max Bultman of The Athletic reports. Larkin underwent offseason surgery in June but is healthy heading into the regular season. The Detroit captain had 33 goals, 36 assists, 221 shots on goal and 26 power-play points in 68 regular-season games last season. He is expected to play with Alex DeBrincat and Lucas Raymond on what should be an outstanding top line in 2024-25.

Larkin (upper body) has undergone offseason surgery, but he's expected to be fine for the start of training camp in September, Sean Shapiro of EP Rinkside reports. Larkin missed eight games in early March, but he returned to finished the regular season with 33 goals, 36 assists, 26 power-play points and 221 shots on goal in 68 appearances. Look for Larkin to center the top line with Lucas Raymond and Alex DeBrincat on his wings next season.

Larkin won't represent Team USA at the 2024 IIHF World Championship because of an undisclosed injury, Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press reports. Larkin will use the offseason to recover instead, which should put him on track to be available for training camp in the fall. He finished the 2023-24 season with 33 goals and 69 points in 68 appearances.

Larkin finished with more points than games played for the first time in his nine-year career, adding 33 goals and 36 assists -- with 26 of those points on the power play -- across 68 contests in 2023-24. A fierce competitor, Larkin fought to the bitter end of the regular season, and had it not been for the captain's late-season surge -- including two goals and five assists in the final four games -- the Wings wouldn't have had even the slightest hope for a playoff berth in those final moments of the 2023-24 campaign. Larkin appeared in five playoff games as a rookie in 2016, but the Wings haven't returned to the postseason since then. Staying healthy and solidifying his chemistry with Alex DeBrincat on the top line will be crucial steps in getting Larkin where he needs to be from both a fantasy standpoint and in terms of his playoff aspirations.

Larkin scored the overtime winner on the power play to complement an assist in Saturday's 5-4 overtime win over the Maple Leafs. This is an example of a captain showing up for the biggest moment of his entire season. A regulation loss would have been devastating to Detroit's playoff hopes, but Larkin's clutch contributions helped the team avoid a total meltdown after permitting three unanswered goals in the second period. Larkin seems to hover around a point-per-game pace year in and year out, with this season being no exception. The fleet-footed pivot has a career-high 33 goals to go along with 34 assists through 66 appearances. There are two games to go for the Wings in the regular season.
