Detroit Red Wings struggle as Dylan Larkin remains suspended
Summary

The Detroit Red Wings have won six of their last 10 games despite the suspension of Dylan Larkin. Larkin has not played since October 29 after requesting a trade, leaving the team in a challenging position. As of now, they sit at the bottom of the Atlantic Division with a record of 7-6-3 and are three points behind the Florida Panthers for the final wild card spot. The Red Wings also face uncertainty with defenseman Simon Edvinsson, who remains unsigned. In a rare positive, the team signed Alex DeBrincat to a seven-year, $91 million extension, which will begin in the 2027-28 season.
