Dylan Larkin Expected To Be Ready For Training Camp Following Surgery

Detroit 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.

Blackhawks Not Planning A Reunion With Patrick Kane

Chicago Blackhawks legend Patrick Kane is unlikely to return to the team. Kane, who left the Windy City last year, is set for unrestricted free agency this offseason, but it looks like he won't receive any offers from the Blackhawks. "I think we made some really tough decisions on some longstanding players," said Blackhawks general manager Kyle Davidson at the recent NHL Draft Combine. "I don't foresee us going back on that." After recovering from hip surgery, Kane skated with the Detroit Red Wings this season, posting 20 goals and 47 points in 50 appearances. The 35-year-old proved that he can still do the business in the league and should draw quite a bit of interest on the open market.

James Reimer Starting Must-Win Game Tuesday

Detroit Red Wings goaltender James Reimer is starting Tuesday's must-win game on the road against the Montreal Canadiens. The Red Wings need a win and a Capitals loss to the Flyers on Tuesday to get into the postseason. They are tied with Washington with 89 points, but the Caps hold the regulation-wins tiebreaker, therefore holding onto the final wild-card spot in the Eastern Conference entering play Tuesday. Reimer has posted a 3.07 goals-against average and a .905 save percentage across 24 outings (19 starts) on the season, going 10-8-2 in that time. Tuesday's start is just his second over the team's past nine games.

Alex Lyon Getting The Starting Nod Monday

Detroit Red Wings goaltender Alex Lyon is getting the start on Monday for a crucial contest against the visiting Montreal Canadiens. After making six straight starts, Lyon gave way to James Reimer for Saturday's key 5-4 win over the Toronto Maple Leafs but he will get right back at it against the Canadiens on Monday. The 31-year-old has taken over the crease from Reimer this season but hasn't been as sharp of late. For the season, he owns a 3.03 goals-against average and a .906 save percentage across 43 outings (42 starts) while going 20-18-5 in that time. The Red Wings also play tomorrow as they sit tied for the second and final Wild Card spot in the Eastern Conference but have the fewest regulation wins (the tiebreaker) between them and the Capitals, Flyers, and Penguins with two games to go.

Andrew Copp A Game-Time Decision Monday

Detroit Red Wings forward Andrew Copp (cheek) is a game-time decision for Monday's crucial contest against the Montreal Canadiens. The veteran has missed the past two games after suffering a broken cheekbone on an undetected high stick in a 2-1 loss to the Washington Capitals last Tuesday. Wings bench boss Derek Lalonde said Copp would take part in warmups on Monday before determining his status for the contest. Copp has recorded 13 goals and 33 points across 77 games this season, his second with the Red Wings. Detroit enters Monday's action tied with the Capitals and Flyers for the final wild-card spot in the Eastern Conference with 87 points, but both clubs hold the tiebreaker over the Red Wings due to regulation wins.

Lucas Raymond Erupts For Four Points

Detroit Red Wings winger Lucas Raymond outscored everybody in Thursday's highly entertaining matchup against Pittsburgh, netting a hat trick and adding an assist in a 6-5 overtime loss. Raymond averaged a point per game through the first few outings of the month and found a way to take his performance to an even higher level on Thursday in a crucial clash between two teams that are desperately trying to secure a postseason berth. It's been a good bounce-back campaign for the 22-year-old, who has gone from a 45-point guy to a player who has a chance to finish the campaign with 70 points. In 79 appearances, Raymond has tallied 29 goals and 39 assists.

Andrew Copp Suffers Broken Cheek Bone

Detroit Red Wings forward Andrew Copp has suffered a broken cheekbone on an undetected high stick on Tuesday versus the Washington Capitals, according to bench boss Derek Lalonde. Copp left the game in the second period and did not return. The veteran has appeared in all 77 games so far for the team this season but will be sidelined for an indefinite period of time while Zach Aston-Reese slides into the lineup. For the season, Copp has registered 13 goals and 33 points across those 77 contests on the season, adding 107 shots on goal in that time. With their 2-1 win on Tuesday, the Capitals leapfrogged the Red Wings and now sit one point ahead for the second and final Wild Card spot in the Eastern Conference.

Andrew Copp Suffers Broken Cheekbone

Detroit Red Wings center Andrew Copp suffered a broken cheekbone in Tuesday's 2-1 loss to Washington. He was injured late in the game on a high stick that went uncalled by the officials. Copp finished scoreless in the contest across 13:48 of action. The Red Wings, who are in the midst of a fierce battle for a playoff spot, return to action on Thursday against Pittsburgh. Copp would mainly be missed for his defensive presence, although he has also produced 33 points (13 goals, 20 assists) in 77 games this season. Joe Veleno and Austin Czarnik are the candidates to take over the third-line center role.

Moritz Seider To Play Despite Illness

Detroit Red Wings defenseman Moritz Seider is still expected to play on Tuesday against the visiting Washington Capitals despite dealing with the flu, according to head coach Derek Lalonde. The German blueliner has yet to miss a game in his nearly three-year NHL career, appearing in 241 consecutive contests to begin his career. Under normal circumstances, perhaps Seider would take a breather but Tuesday's game carries massive playoff implications. The Red Wings sit just a single point ahead of the Capitals for the second and final Wild Card spot in the Eastern Conference. They are also tied with the Penguins with 83 points but have a game in hand while they sit one point ahead of the Flyers while once again sporting a game in hand.

Ville Husso Headed For Conditioning Stint

Detroit Red Wings goaltender Ville Husso (lower body) has been loaded to the American Hockey League's Grand Rapids Griffins for a conditioning stint. The 29-year-old has been limited to just 19 games with the Red Wings this season due to lower-body injuries. He suffered an original lower-body injury in a Dec. 18 contest against the Ducks, forcing him out until Feb. 13. However, he left that game against the Oilers after just 8:48 due to an aggravation of the ailment and hasn't appeared in a game since. The former St. Louis Blues netminder struggled to a 3.55 goals-against average and an .892 save percentage in the NHL this season while Alex Lyon has taken over the crease in Husso's absence.

Dylan Larkin Battles Through Knee Injury On Saturday

Detroit Red Wings center Dylan Larkin injured his knee on Saturday against Florida but was able to complete the contest. With less than 30 seconds played in the game, Red Wings defenseman Jeff Petry hit Larkin on the knee with a shot from the blue line. Larkin needed help to get off the ice. However, he was able to carry on in the second period and ended up producing a crucial power-play goal in the third period that gave Detroit a point in a 3-2 shootout loss. Larkin only recently missed time with a lower-body injury and appears to be desperate to stay in the lineup as the team continues a fierce playoff race in the Eastern Conference. The American centerman leads Detroit with 29 goals and has had the same number of assists in 60 games.

Patrick Kane Questionable Saturday

Detroit Red Wings right wing Patrick Kane (illness) is questionable to play on Saturday against Florida. He was a late scratch for Thursday's meeting with Carolina due to an illness and might have to skip a second consecutive game now. Kane has been in top form lately and Detroit will be desperate to have him in the lineup to continue its playoff push. The former MVP has scored in three of his last four appearances, bagging nine points (four goals, five assists) over an eight-game span. Michael Rasmussen moved into the top six as Kane's replacement on Thursday and could fill in for him again versus the Panthers.

Dylan Larkin Misses Practice, To Be Available Saturday

Detroit Red Wings center Dylan Larkin did not practice on Friday due to an illness but will be available for Saturday's road game against the red-hot Nashville Predators. The Red Wings captain missed nearly three weeks due to a lower-body injury but returned to score two goals in a 6-3 win over the New York Islanders on Thursday. Larkin will enter Saturday's contest with 28 goals and 56 points on 169 shots across 56 games on the season. He is averaging 19:48 of ice time per game and has added 21 power-play points to this ledger. The Red Wings currently occupy the second and final Wild Card spot in the Eastern Conference, three points up on the Washington Capitals.

Dylan Larkin Returns With Two Goals

Detroit Red Wings center Dylan Larkin scored two goals in his return from a lower-body injury Thursday versus the Islanders. After missing eight contests, Larkin served up his fourth multi-goal game of the season, helping the team to a vital 6-3 win. Larkin logged 16:32 of action and had three total shots while finishing with a plus-two rating. The Red Wings captain has been productive throughout the campaign and is moving with a point-per-game pace. Through 56 appearances, Larkin has registered 28 goals and 28 assists.

Patrick Kane Nets Overtime Winner Tuesday

Detroit Red Wings winger Patrick Kane scored the overtime winner on Tuesday night versus the visiting Columbus Blue Jackets. Desperate for points, the Wings flirted with disaster on Tuesday, trailing the lowly Blue Jackets into the dying seconds of the game before Lucas Raymond scored to tie it with just 13 seconds to go. Kane would bury the overtime winner just 48 seconds into the extra frame. The winner was Kane's 15th goal of the season and he added a pair of assists, giving him 38 points in 38 games after signing a one-year deal with the Red Wings midway through the season following hip resurfacing surgery. The Red Wings improved to 35-28-6 on the season, good for the second and final Wild Card spot in the Eastern Conference.

Dylan Larkin Questionable For Thursday

Detroit Red Wings center Dylan Larkin (lower body) is questionable for Thursday's game against the visiting New York Islanders, according to head coach Derek Lalonde. The Red Wings captain has been out since a March 2 4-0 loss to the Florida Panthers but skated with the team on Tuesday. Larkin has recorded 26 goals and 54 points on 166 shots across 55 games on the season, his ninth in the NHL. Thursday's contest is a crucial one, as both teams sit within two points of the second and final wild-card spot in the Eastern Conference, with Detroit sitting one point up on the Islanders with a 34-28-6 record, one point shy of the Washington Capitals.

Lucas Raymond Pots Pair Of Goals Versus Penguins

Detroit Red Wings winger Lucas Raymond scored twice with three shots in Sunday's 6-3 defeat against Pittsburgh. Entering the contest with a three-game goal streak, Raymond extended the run with a strike at the 15:39 mark in the first period and added a second goal late in the game. The latter was Raymond's third power-play goal in four games. Raymond has enjoyed a solid bounce-back campaign with 57 points (22 goals, 35 assists) in 68 outings. He has matched his career high with the four-game goal-scoring streak and can set a new mark in a very favorable matchup, as Detroit is set to meet the Blue Jackets and their leaky defense on Tuesday.

Dylan Larkin To Miss At Least Three More Games

Detroit Red Wings center Dylan Larkin is set to miss at least the next three games due to a lower-body injury. He suffered the injury in a 4-0 loss to the Florida Panthers on March 2 and was initially given a two-week timeline to return. It's been another productive season for the Red Wings captain as Larkin has tallied 26 goals and 54 points on 166 shots on goal across 55 games played. He has hovered around a point-per-game pace for the third straight season at this point, although his 15.7% shooting rate is well above his 10.8% career mark, so some goal-scoring regression could be on the horizon. The Red Wings have lost seven straight games entering Saturday's home game versus the Buffalo Sabres.

James Reimer To Start On Saturday

Detroit Red Wings goaltender James Reimer will get the starting nod for Saturday's contest against the visiting Buffalo Sabres. It's a seldom start for the veteran as Alex Lyon has taken over the crease in Detroit, starting 10 of the team's last 12 games, including seven of the last eight. It hasn't been a great season for Reimer who owns a 3.09 goals-against average and a .903 save percentage across 19 games (14 starts), going 6-7-2 in that time. He also struggled last season with the Sharks when he posted a 3.48 GAA and an .890 Sv% across 43 outings, posting a 12-21-8 record in the process. He remains well off the fantasy radar, even with Lyon showing some significant regression of late. The Red Wings have lost seven straight games entering Saturday's action.

Dylan Larkin Ruled Out For Two Weeks

Detroit Red Wings center Dylan Larkin is set for a two-week absence due to a lower-body injury. He was injured on Saturday in a matchup against Florida. With Larkin out, Detroit loses its top scorer, who has posted 26 goals and 54 points in 55 outings this season. The two-week stretch includes seven games. Joe Veleno worked in Larkin's spot on the first line during Monday's practice. The 24-year-old has so far totaled 26 points (11 goals, 15 assists) in 59 games, but his productivity should get a boost playing with star wingers Patrick Kane and Alex DeBrincat.
