5 months agoDetroit Red Wings center Dylan Larkin found the back of the net twice in their victory over the Buffalo Sabres on Saturday evening. The Detroit captain tied the game on a power-play goal in the second frame. Later in the third, the Michigan native would break the stalemate by scoring his second goal of the evening, once again on the man advantage. Through his first 11 games this season, Larkin has tallied eight points, seven of which were goals. In addition, he sits with a minus-three rating with 30 shots on goal, six hits, and four blocked shots. Fantasy managers should continue to rely on Larkin as a safe bet for offensive output, as he should continue to play on the top line alongside Alex DeBrincat and Patrick Kane.

9 months agoDetroit Red Wings center Dylan Larkin has undergone surgery for an upper-body injury, general manager Steve Yzerman announced on Friday. Yzerman added that the Red Wings captain is expected to be fully ready for the start of training camp in September. Larkin had a big year in 2023-24 with a career-high 33 goals and 69 points in 68 appearances. It was his first time averaging at least a point per game for a season, while Larkin enjoyed a third consecutive campaign with 30-plus goals. The American pivot should be capable of even more if he stays clear of health issues in 2024-25.
