Dylan Larkin will miss opening games for Red Wings this weekend

Dylan Larkin will not be available for the Detroit Red Wings' season-opening games on October 2 and October 4 due to an injury sustained during training before the start of training camp. Coach Todd McLellan confirmed that Larkin has been skating but is not yet game ready. Larkin had previously requested a trade earlier this summer, adding context to his absence as the team prepares for the new season. Updates on Larkin's recovery are expected as the season progresses.
