Rotowire

Rotowire
Larkin scored an empty-net goal on two shots and added two PIM in Saturday's 3-0 win over the Predators.
Larkin has a goal, an assist, three shots on net and two blocked shots though the first two games of the season. The 28-year-old continues to center the top line and play on the top power-play unit, so he's in a position to succeed throughout the year. He'll likely have Alex DeBrincat on his left wing most of the time, but both Lucas Raymond and Patrick Kane have gotten looks as the top-line right wing early in the season.

Red Wings' Dylan Larkin: Sets bar higher in ninth season
Rotowire
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.

Rotowire

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.
