Larkin earned a power-play assist in Saturday's 3-0 win over the Islanders.

EDGE Analysis

Larkin continues to do what he does best: lead by example. The 26-year-old captain has generated six goals and eight assists while missing the scoresheet in just two of 11 games to start the season. The point-packing pivot shook off an upper-body injury in October, which was critical considering a number of Wings forwards are injured, including Tyler Bertuzzi (upper body), who normally works on the top line with Larkin.

Larkin score a goal and added an assist in a 3-1 win over the Capitals on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

His goal went into an empty net. Larkin continues to impress offensively with six goals and seven assists for 13 points in 10 contests. That's a point within the league's top-10 scoring list, but his 21.4 shooting percentage is more than double his career mark. Larkin's goal pace will invariably slow, but he's showing real growth in his game.

Larkin scored a shorthanded goal and added two PIM in Monday's 8-3 loss to the Sabres.

EDGE Analysis

Larkin put away his first shorthanded goal since the 2018-19 campaign when he scored early in the third period. The 26-year-old center has been sharp in a top-line role, getting on the scoresheet in seven of nine games this year. He's contributed five goals, six assists, four power-play points, 25 shots on net and a plus-3 rating. Larkin hasn't had more than one shorthanded point in any of the previous three seasons, so it's not likely to be a large part of his output.

EDGE Analysis

Larkin, who has eight points in six outings, connected on the game's first goal by driving to the net and deflecting in a pass by Dominik Kubalik. But like the rest of the Red Wings' roster Tuesday, Larkin didn't produce much after the initial burst. The 26-year-old center generated just one shot but added three hits. Larkin, who had a goal and two assists against the Devils on Oct. 15, has collected 22 points in 18 career games against the franchise.

Larkin scored a goal and added an assist, both on the power play, in Sunday's 5-1 win over the Ducks.

That worked out well for the Red Wings, as he scored their opening goal and helped out on a Dominik Kubalik tally in the third period. Larkin already has a pair of multi-point efforts this season, and he's up to three goals, four assists, 20 shots on net and a plus-5 rating through five contests.

EDGE Analysis

Larkin scored a goal on three shots but also missed time during Friday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Blackhawks with an upper-body injury, Ted Kulfan of The Detroit News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Larkin will be evaluated Saturday to determine if he'll need to miss any time. The center has looked good to begin 2022-23, earning two goals, three assists, a plus-5 rating and 15 shots on net through four contests. Any absence for Larkin is significant since he centers the first line and top power-play unit for the Red Wings. Until he's cleared of his injury, he can be considered day-to-day.

EDGE Analysis

Larkin, who lost one of his wingers on the top line Saturday, displayed versatility with a variety of teammates.

EDGE Analysis

The Red Wings captain delivered a nice outlet pass that helped spur a breakaway goal for Michael Rasmussen in the third period.
