Larkin (leg) is expected to miss the remainder of Detroit's upcoming road trip, per Helene St. James of Detroit Free Press.

Larkin has been held out of the lineup in the team's last two games with a leg injury he sustained in Detroit's clash with Florida on Friday. With the 29-year-old center expected to miss the final two games of the upcoming road trip, the earliest he could return to the lineup is Monday's home game against Calgary. In the captain's absence, the Red Wings called up Sheldon Dries, John Leonard and Eduards Tralmaks to Detroit's roster under emergency conditions Wednesday and have a strong chance to finish the upcoming road trip with the NHL club.

Laczynski notched three assists in AHL Henderson's 7-6 overtime win over Tucson on Wednesday.

Laczynski has six helpers over six outings in March. The 28-year-old forward continues to be productive at the AHL level with 16 goals and a career-best 53 points through 48 appearances for Henderson. He's also earned five helpers over 10 NHL games this season.

Holtz logged three assists in AHL Henderson's 7-6 overtime win over Tucson on Wednesday.

Holtz has four helpers over three contests since he joined the Silver Knights after passing through waivers Friday. The 24-year-old is eligible for the AHL playoffs with that move, but he'll also be organizational depth for the big club should any injuries take out a forward. Holtz had nine points in 28 games with the Golden Knights prior to his demotion.

Lavoie scored three goals in AHL Henderson's 7-6 overtime win over Tucson on Wednesday.

Lavoie has seven goals and two assists over his last seven AHL outings. The 25-year-old forward is up to 29 points in just 28 contests this season, surpassing his point total from 42 regular-season appearances last year. He's yet to record his first NHL point, though he's drawn into just one contest for Vegas this season.

Stutzle logged two assists, including one on the power play, in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to the Canadiens.

This effort extended Stutzle's point streak to 14 games. In that span, he's earned eight goals and 11 assists, including six power-play points. The 24-year-old center has reached the 70-point mark for the fourth year in a row with 30 goals and 40 helpers in 64 appearances. He's added 157 shots on net, 98 hits, 40 blocked shots, 31 PIM and a plus-7 rating.

Batherson scored two goals on four shots, added two PIM and levied six hits in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to the Canadiens.

Batherson's goals came 1:59 apart in the first period, with the first one being a power-play tally. He has six goals and two helpers over his last six contests while continuing to offer both scoring and physical play from a top-six role. For the season, the winger is at 25 goals, 57 points (21 on the power play), 134 shots on net, 93 hits and a minus-3 rating across 61 appearances.

Ullmark stopped 20 of 23 shots in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to the Canadiens.

He allowed a goal in each period. Ullmark hadn't taken a regulation loss in his last 13 appearances, going 9-0-3 in that span. He's now at a 19-9-7 record with a 2.85 GAA and an .883 save percentage over 36 starts this season. Ullmark's save percentage is unusually low, but he's just a win away from reaching 20 for the fifth year in a row, so he's still a decent No. 2 goalie in most fantasy formats.

Texier scored a goal on two shots and added four hits in Wednesday's 3-2 win over the Senators.

Texier had been a healthy scratch for the last five games before jumping into the lineup for Cole Caufield (illness). The 26-year-old Texier took a top-line spot and made the most of it with a tally at 17:29 of the second period. Texier is up to eight goals, 20 points, 61 shots on net, 45 hits and a plus-10 rating over 40 appearances between the Canadiens and Blues this season. He's not a guarantee to be in the lineup, but he has produced fairly well when given the chance.

Slafkovsky scored a power-play goal and blocked three shots in Wednesday's 3-2 win over the Senators.

Slafkovsky has three goals and four assists over five contests in March. The 21-year-old has earned three of those seven points on the power play, including his opening goal just 1:16 into this game. He's up to 24 goals, 53 points (21 on the power play), 133 shots on net, 86 hits, 61 blocked shots, 44 PIM and a plus-5 rating over 64 outings this season. He continues to offer strong all-around performances from a top-line role.

Demidov scored a goal on three shots, dished a power-play assist and added two PIM in Wednesday's 3-2 win over the Senators.

Demidov's third-period tally was the game-winner. The 20-year-old winger saw just 12:50 of ice time -- it's the third time in six games he's been under the 13-minute mark, though he is still listed on the Canadiens' second line. Demidov has 14 goals, 51 points, 94 shots on net, 26 PIM and a plus-6 rating across 64 appearances this season.
