Red Wings' Dylan Larkin: Ruled out for preseason finale
Larkin (upper body) has been ruled out for Saturday's preseason finale against the Blue Jackets, Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press reports.
Head coach Todd McLellan said Friday that Larkin is progressing in his recovery, but he'll ultimately be held out for the Red Wings' final preseason game. Larkin participated in Wednesday's practice session and will now shift his focus toward Detroit's Opening Night matchup against the Rangers on Oct. 2. It's not yet clear whether the 30-year-old will be able to suit up for the regular-season opener, but he's at least progressing in the right direction in his recovery process.

Red Wings' Dylan Larkin: Practices Wednesday, won't play Thursday
Larkin (upper body) participated in Wednesday's practice session but won't play in Thursday's preseason matchup against the Sabres, Ted Kulfan of The Detroit News reports.
Larkin has been recovering from an upper-body injury during training camp. Although he hasn't been cleared to play, head coach Todd McLellan said Wednesday that Larkin is making progress. In addition to missing Thursday's exhibition game, Larkin could also be held out for Saturday's preseason finale against Columbus. It remains unclear whether he'll be in the mix to suit up for the Red Wings' Opening Night matchup against the Rangers on Oct. 2.

Red Wings' Dylan Larkin: Dealing with upper-body injury
Interim general manager Shawn Horcoff said Wednesday that Larkin recently sustained an upper-body injury while training and won't be skating when camp begins, Max Bultman of The Athletic reports.
Larkin's offseason has been headlined by his June trade request, but the Red Wings haven't yet found a trade partner, and he was expected to report to training camp despite being stripped of his captaincy. However, he'll miss at least some time to begin camp, and it's not yet clear when he could return to action.

Red Wings' Dylan Larkin: Will report to camp
Larkin will take part in the Red Wings' training camp but will no longer serve as the team captain, the club announced Friday.
Larkin had previously requested a trade, leading to speculation that he may not show up for training camp, though it appears those concerns were unfounded. Handling the center's request will no doubt be a daunting issue for whoever takes over as Detroit's general manager. While the ongoing situation could certainly be a distraction, Larkin still offers enough fantasy upside to take him sooner rather than later in drafts.

Red Wings' Dylan Larkin: Could ultimately remain in Detroit
Larkin could ultimately remain in Detroit for the start of the 2026-27 season, Michael Whitaker of The Hockey News reports Wednesday.
Larkin's trade request that was made public in June generated plenty of buzz during the offseason, but the Red Wings haven't yet a trade partner. He submitted a short list of teams that he would like Detroit to trade him to, a list that was believed to include Florida, Minnesota and Vegas. While the 30-year-old has presumably garnered ample interest on the trade market, the Red Wings may ultimately elect to keep him in the fold if they don't receive an offer they feel is suitable. The Red Wings are also searching for a new general manager after Steve Yzerman stepped down in July and will be playing without Patrick Kane in 2026-27 after he returned to Chicago during the offseason, both of which could complicate potential trade talks as the regular season approaches.

Red Wings' Dylan Larkin: Will miss at least two weeks
Larkin (leg) was ruled out for two weeks, when he will then be reassessed, per Jonathan Mills.
Following Thursday's morning skate, head coach Todd McLellan stated that both Larkin and Andrew Copp would be reevaluated in two weeks for their respective injuries.

Overall, the 29-year-old center has 28 goals, 27 assists, 190 shots on net, 34 hits and 31 blocked shots across 63 games this season. If the Red Wings' captain is ready to return in two weeks, he should have roughly 10 games to help the team secure a spot in the postseason amidst the competitive Atlantic Division.

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.
