Dylan Larkin Joins Red Wings for Practice

Detroit Red Wings center Dylan Larkin (upper body) practiced on Wednesday, Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press reports. This was his first practice session with the team at training camp. Larkin missed the start of camp and a pair of preseason games due to an upper-body injury. He is also expected to sit out Thursday's matchup against the Buffalo Sabres. Larkin's final chance to get some preseason action under his belt will be on Saturday, when the Red Wings host the Columbus Blue Jackets. With trade talks waning, it's starting to look increasingly likely that Larkin will be in the lineup for Detroit's regular-season opener against the New York Rangers on Oct. 2.

Dylan Larkin Misses Start of Camp Due to Injury

Detroit Red Wings center Dylan Larkin (upper body) will sit out the start of training camp, interim general manager Shawn Horcoff said Wednesday. Larkin sustained an upper-body injury during off-ice training earlier this week. A week ago, it was confirmed that Larkin will participate in training camp despite his offseason trade request. However, the team stripped him of captaincy. Still, it appears that not all bridges have been burned between the two sides, and Larkin could begin the season in Detroit.

Dylan Larkin Will Join Red Wings for Camp Despite Trade Request

Detroit Red Wings center Dylan Larkin will report to training camp despite requesting a trade this offseason, ESPN's Emily Kaplan reports. Larkin hasn't gotten his desired move away from Motown, but he could very well start the season with the Red Wings. However, the 2026 Olympic champion won't be the team captain anymore after the Red Wings announced that they will begin the campaign without a captain. In 2026-27, Larkin will aim to post his sixth consecutive 30-goal season. He has notched at least 67 points in each of the past five seasons.

Simon Edvinsson Ready to Participate in Red Wings Camp Without Contract

Detroit Red Wings defenseman Simon Edvinsson plans to attend training camp even if he's still unsigned, TSN's Pierre LeBrun reports. The 23-year-old Swedish blue-liner is a restricted free agent after completing his entry-level contract. Edvinsson has enjoyed back-to-back strong campaigns. In 2025-26, he appeared in 72 regular-season contests, recording 25 points (nine goals, 16 assists), 88 SOG, 148 blocks, 94 hits, and a plus-12 rating. Edvinsson has formed a strong partnership with Moritz Seider in Detroit's defense and is expected to stay in Motown long-term. However, his contract situation remains unresolved as the Red Wings are still looking for a new general manager.

Moritz Seider Looking to Improve Defensively

Detroit Red Wings defenseman Moritz Seider aims to become a better two-way player. After posting a career-high 60 points in 2025-26, Seider established himself as one of the top offensive defensemen in the league. Now, he wants to become more effective in the defensive zone. "I want to establish myself as a guy that people are not happy to see on the ice," Seider said. "I think that's one of the biggest compliments you could get is that people are not happy to see you -- in a good way. I think that's where I see my challenge is to do everything I can to shut the best forwards down in every single game. And I think if I can approach that, I give our team a good chance to win." At 25, Seider should have room to improve. He is only entering his prime and is likely to be a fantasy stalwart for years to come.

Dylan Larkin Could Start Season With Red Wings

Detroit Red Wings center Dylan Larkin could remain with the team at the start of the season, Ted Kuflan of The Detroit News reports. Larkin requested a trade at the start of the offseason, but the team hasn't found any suitable deals. A source told Kuflan that the organization expects Larkin to report to training camp if he isn't traded by then. He would reportedly forfeit $8 million in salary if he doesn't appear in camp. From a fantasy perspective, it would likely be better if Larkin moved away from Motown, as unhappiness in Detroit could affect his performance.

Dylan Larkin Adds Fourth Team to Trade List

Detroit Red Wings center Dylan Larkin has expanded his list of acceptable trade destinations to four teams, MLive's Ansar Khan reports. His original list included the Florida Panthers, Minnesota Wild, and Vegas Golden Knights. It has now been revealed that the Red Wings captain would also accept a trade to the Dallas Stars. According to Khan, there have been discussions about a potential deal involving Wyatt Johnston and Jason Robertson. Larkin has five years remaining on his contract, which carries an average annual value of $8.7 million. The American star is seeking a fresh start after missing the playoffs in Detroit for 10 consecutive seasons.

Dylan Larkin Requests Trade From Red Wings

Detroit Red Wings center Dylan Larkin has requested a trade, Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman reports. Larkin looks eager to move on from Motown after the Red Wings missed the Stanley Cup Playoffs for a tenth consecutive year. So far, Larkin has shown considerable patience while waiting for a competitive team to be built around him. He has been with the Red Wings since entering the NHL in 2015. The team named him captain in January 2021. Detroit locked Larkin into an eight-year, $69.6 million contract in 2023, giving him a full no-trade clause through next season. While the Red Wings have struggled for a decade, Larkin has been strong individually. He scored a career-high 34 goals this season, adding 33 assists in 74 contests.

John Gibson Exits Thursday's Game Due to Neck Problem

Detroit Red Wings goaltender John Gibson exited Thursday's 6-3 win over Philadelphia early due to neck stiffness, Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press reports. Gibson left the game midway through the second period after allowing two goals with a .867 save percentage. Cam Talbot finished the job with 11 saves on 12 SOG. Red Wings head coach Todd McLellan confirmed after the game that Gibson hasn't entered concussion protocol, so he doesn't appear to be dealing with a serious issue. However, the veteran netminder could still sit out some action. Detroit will return to work on Saturday against New Jersey. Gibson is two wins short of matching his career-high, going 29-20-4 this season. He has registered a 2.64 goals-against average with a .904 save percentage and four shutouts.

Moritz Seider has Five-Point Game on Thursday

Detroit Red Wings defenseman Moritz Seider scored one goal and assisted four times in a 6-3 victory over the Philadelphia Flyers on Thursday. He became the first defenseman this year to reach five points in a single game, and the first person since Quinn Hughes achieved the feat in December of 2024. Seider now has 10 goals, 60 points, and a plus-21 rating in 79 games played this year and has a chance to win the Norris trophy.

Mason Appleton Won't Play Thursday

Detroit Red Wings forward Mason Appleton (upper body) won't play on Thursday against the Philadelphia Flyers, Ted Kuflan of the Detroit News reports. He will miss a fourth consecutive game with an upper-body injury and might be unavailable for the rest of the regular-season slate. Appleton has recorded 14 points (six goals, eight assists) in 65 games with 63 SOG and 89 hits. Detroit has also just lost Michael Rasmussen (lower body), so Carter Mazur and Dominik Shine could see regular action until the end of the regular season.

Michael Rasmussen Likely to Miss Rest of Regular Season

Detroit Red Wings forward Michael Rasmussen (lower body) will likely miss the rest of the 2025-26 regular season, Bob Duff of Detroit Hockey Now reports. In his third game back in the lineup, he aggravated a lower-body injury during Tuesday's defeat to Columbus. After the game, Red Wings head coach Todd McLellan told reporters that Rasmussen will miss "a few more games." Detroit has four more regular-season games remaining, with the team's playoff chances fading fast. Rasmussen is set to finish the campaign with his lowest scoring total in five years. He has produced 14 points (six goals, eight assists) in 64 contests. We will likely see Dominik Shine return to the lineup as Rasmussen's replacement on Thursday against Philadelphia.

Justin Faulk • D • Red Wings

Justin Faulk Questionable Sunday

Detroit Red Wings defenseman Justin Faulk (lower body) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Minnesota Wild. The veteran blue-liner missed Saturday's loss to the New York Rangers due to a lower-body injury. He has a chance to return against Minnesota after Red Wings head coach Todd McLellan labeled him and forward Mason Appleton (upper body) as questionable for Sunday. Faulk has had a solid season with 35 points (12 goals, 23 assists), although his production has declined since moving to Detroit. With the Red Wings, he has managed three points (one goal, two assists), 15 SOG, 23 blocks, and 17 hits in 12 games. Axel Sandin-Pellikka will remain in the lineup on Sunday if Faulk can't play.

Patrick Kane Becomes NHL's Highest-Scoring American

Detroit Red Wings right wing Patrick Kane once again rewrote the history books with a three-point effort in Thursday's 4-2 road win over the Philadelphia Flyers, becoming the NHL's all-time leading scorer among American players. The former MVP scored Detroit's game-winning goal and contributed two assists, including one on the power play. Earlier this season, Kane surpassed Mike Modano as the top-scoring U.S.-born player. Now, he's also ahead of Brett Hull on the all-time scoring list. Hull was born in Canada but represented the United States. Kane has scored 1,393 points (506 goals, 887 assists) in 1,362 career games. On Thursday night, he reached the 50-point mark for this season, boasting 14 goals and 36 assists through 60 outings. Kane has turned back the clock recently, tallying two goals and six assists during a four-game point streak.

Justin Faulk Suffers Lower-Body Injury Thursday

Detroit Red Wings defenseman Justin Faulk suffered a lower-body injury on Thursday against the Philadelphia Flyers, Max Smith of Detroit Hockey Now reports. He left the game during the second period, finishing with 10:49 of ice time. The veteran blue-liner had his 12th outing with the Red Wings. Since moving to Motor City, he has recorded three points (one goal, two assists), 15 SOG, 23 blocks, and 17 hits. The severity of Faulk's injury is unclear, but he should be considered questionable for Saturday's meeting with the New York Rangers. Travis Hamonic could get back into the lineup for the first time since Feb. 4, but he doesn't have fantasy value.

John Gibson Gets Back on Track Friday

Detroit Red Wings goaltender John Gibson had 28 saves in Friday's impressive 5-2 road win over the Buffalo Sabres. The Red Wings' offense exploded for three first-period goals, and Gibson did an impressive job protecting the lead, improving to 27-17-3. Gibson now boasts the third-most wins by a Red Wings goalie in their first season with the franchise. He has registered a 2.54 goals-against average and a .907 save percentage with four shutouts. Following a three-game losing streak, Gibson has won three of his last four starts. He could be thrown into action again on Saturday night against Philadelphia, as Cam Talbot (undisclosed) is banged up. Michal Postava served as Gibson's backup on Friday.

Patrick Kane Collects Two Points in Friday's Win

Detroit Red Wings right wing Patrick Kane had two points against his hometown Buffalo Sabres in Friday's 5-2 road win. The veteran forward assisted Jacob Bernard-Docker on Detroit's fourth goal and iced the game with an empty-netter. Kane has been playing great recently, bagging four goals and seven assists across his last 10 outings. Detroit has struggled to generate offense for much of the campaign, so keeping Kane hot will be crucial for the team's playoff hopes. Kane is fourth among the Red Wings' forwards with 44 points (13 goals, 31 assists) in 57 games.

Moritz Seider Assists on Two Goals Against the Sabres

Detroit Red Wings defenseman Moritz Seider added two more assists in a 5-2 win over the first-place Sabres on Friday. Both his assists came in the first period and on the power play, with Lucas Raymond and Alex DeBrincat scoring the goals. Seider remains one of the NHL's best defenseman, not just due to his defensive abilities, but also because he can rack up the points. He has 51 points in 72 games this year.

Alex DeBrincat Picks Up Three Points Versus Buffalo

Emmitt Finnie Enters Concussion Protocol

Detroit Red Wings forward Emmitt Finnie entered concussion protocol on Tuesday, Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press reports. He missed the final few minutes of Tuesday's 3-2 loss to Ottawa after absorbing a heavy hit. Detroit has just gotten Dylan Larkin and Andrew Copp back from injuries, but it looks like the team could be without another important forward in the upcoming games. Finnie has notched 26 points (12 goals, 14 assists) in 71 games during his rookie campaign. He was paired with Larkin and Lucas Raymond on the first line against the Senators.
