Larkin scored a goal and two assists, with one of each coming on the power play, in Sunday's 5-3 win over Boston.
EDGE Analysis
The outburst snapped a string of 11 straight games without multiple points for Larkin, but that lull has been the exception and not the rule for the 26-year-old this season. He's up to 25 goals and 64 points through 65 games, and he continues to do major damage with the man advantage -- his 14 goals and 26 points on the power play shatter his previous career highs of seven and 15, set back in 2018-19.

Larkin registered a power-play assist in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Bruins.
EDGE Analysis
Larkin has earned a pair of goals and assists through five games in March, but fantasy managers generally expect more from a player of his caliber, as Feb. 16 was the last time Detroit's captain recorded multiple points in a given contest. Larkin does have four game-winning goals and 24 power-play points to keep him in the elite class of NHL centers, though that may be of little consolation to a fierce competitor whose team is on the brink of being eliminated from playoff contention.

Larkin registered a power-play goal in Saturday's 4-1 loss to the Islanders.
EDGE Analysis
This was Larkin's first goal in the last seven games, but with 12 goals and 10 assists on the power play, the captain is blowing past his previous career highs is that key special teams spot. Still, Detroit's playoff hopes are dwindling, and Larkin -- who signed an eight-year, $69.9 million contract extension this past Monday -- has even more pressure to carry the team following the loss of Tyler Bertuzzi, a tenacious winger that ended up getting dealt to the Bruins after spending parts of seven campaigns in Motown.

Larkin signed an eight-year, $69.6 million contract extension with Detroit on Wednesday, per Pierre LeBrun of TSN.
EDGE Analysis
Larkin's working through the final season of his five-year, $30.5 million contract. His new deal will begin with the 2023-24 campaign. The 26-year-old has 22 goals and 57 points in 59 contests this season. He was similarly effective in 2021-22 with 31 goals and 69 points in 71 games, which likely helped contribute to him securing this big payday.

Larkin posted an assist in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
Two days after being ejected for a high cross-check on T.J. Oshie in a win over the Capitals, Larkin was mostly quiet in this home victory, as he managed only one shot between 20:53 of ice time, including 5:02 on the power play. Still, his apple against the Blueshirts has the captain at 57 points (22 goals, 35 assists) through 56 games. Larkin is averaging 0.74 points per game over his eight-year career, but he's yet to finish a campaign with more points than games played; perhaps this will be the one, as he's in a contract year and hoping to garner a big extension.

EDGE Analysis
Larkin tallied with 2:21 left in the contest, extending his point streak to seven games (seven goals, six assists). The Red Wings couldn't build upon his goal, losing for the first time since Feb. 7. The center has been excellent lately, and for the bulk of the season as well with 22 goals, 56 points, 173 shots on net and an even plus-minus rating through 54 appearances.

Larkin scored twice on five shots in Monday's 6-1 win over the Canucks.
EDGE Analysis
Larkin's pair of goals came in the first period, with the second tally coming on the power play. This was his second straight two-goal game against the Canucks -- he may be disappointed the two teams' season series is done. Over his last 14 contests, Larkin has seven goals and 10 helpers. He's up to 20 tallies, 50 points, 164 shots on net and a plus-2 rating through 51 outings overall.

Larkin scored two goals, one on the power play, and added a power-play assist in Saturday's 5-2 win over Vancouver.
EDGE Analysis
His second goal of the game midway through the second period also proved to be the game-winner. It's Larkin's first multi-point performance since Jan. 12, but he's been a steady producer during that stretch, with five goals and 15 points over his last 13 games. The 26-year-old is also having a career-best campaign with the man advantage, and Larkin's up to nine goals and 17 points on the power play -- both career highs.
