Detroit Red Wings forward Dylan Larkin is set to miss the team’s first games, including the matchup against the New York Rangers, as he recovers from an upper-body injury. NDTV reports he will miss the games versus the Rangers and Winnipeg Jets, while Times of India says the Red Wings make a final decision before the Rangers game.
Times of India adds that the injury was sustained before training camp. The report notes Larkin practices recently but appears as an extra forward, suggesting a cautious approach to his return. The Red Wings are described as optimistic about his availability for the next game against the Ottawa Senators.
Both outlets frame the decision around ongoing recovery and the timing of his return. Times of India also highlights that Larkin has a no-trade clause, which can complicate any future trade discussions, though this is presented as context rather than part of the immediate injury decision.
