Larkin scored a goal in Saturday's 3-0 preseason win over the Blackhawks.

EDGE Analysis

Larkin spent the offseason rehabbing from core muscle surgery, so fans of the Winged Wheel must be thrilled to see the captain back in action. His 20:53 of ice time led all Wings forwards in the preseason win. Last season, Larkin recorded 31 goals and 38 assists in 71 games.

EDGE Analysis

That's great news for Red Wings fans as Larkin is the Red Wings top forward. Larkin is in the last year of a five-year contract signed in 2018 and is hoping to remain with Detroit long-term. Larkin had a terrific 2021-22 campaign, scoring 31 goals and adding 38 assists in 71 contests. Look for a 75-plus point season if he can remain healthy.

Larkin (abdomen) told reporters he anticipates being cleared in time for training camp ahead of the 2022-23 campaign, Max Bultman of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Despite being able to play in just 71 games this year, Larkin still managed to post 69 points this year, the second-highest total in his seven-year NHL career. Barring any setbacks during the summer, Larkin should be ready to play come Opening Night and should once again challenge for the 70-point threshold, making him a top-end fantasy target.

Larkin will miss the rest of the 2021-22 campaign after undergoing core muscle surgery Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Larkin will come up just one point shy of recording his second 70-point campaign in his seven-year NHL career finishing with 31 goals and 38 helpers. With an expected recovery time of 8-to-10 weeks, Larkin should be fully cleared and ready to go for the start of next season. The 25-year-old Michigan native should be capable of challenging for both the 30-goal and 70-point threshold next year.

Larkin delivered an assist in Thursday's 3-0 win over the Hurricanes.

EDGE Analysis

Even though Detroit is clearly out of the playoff picture, Larkin continues to play his heart out. The 25-year-old captain has three goals and four assists for a point-per-game pace in April, and all of that production has taken place at even strength. With 31 goals and 38 assists on the season ledger, Larkin is five points away from a new career high.

EDGE Analysis

He had a hand in both of Sam Gagner's tallies on the night. Larkin has a four-game point streak going, and over the last 12 contests he's put together three goals and 10 points.

Larkin dished out two assists in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Flyers.

EDGE Analysis

Larkin's contributions allowed the Red Wings to bookend the second period with goals. He helped Lucas Raymond put Detroit ahead 3-0 at the 1:07 mark of the middle frame, then assisted on Jakub Vrana's goal to make it 4-2 with 1:09 left in the second. Larkin's mired in an eight-game goal drought, and this was his first multi-point performance over that stretch, yet Detroit's first-line center is still above a point-per-game pace this season with 61 in 58.

Larkin notched an assist, two shots on goal and four PIM in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Kraken.

EDGE Analysis

Larkin helped out on a Joe Veleno goal in the second period. It's been a relatively quiet March for Larkin, who has just a goal and three helpers in nine games this month. The 25-year-old center is up to 59 points, 170 shots on net, 41 PIM and a minus-3 rating in 57 contests overall, but it's discouraging to see him skid at the three-quarters mark of the season.

Larkin (undisclosed) returned to practice Friday, Ansar Khan of MLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Detroit's captain was afforded a maintenance day Thursday, as he's been bogged down a bit by an undisclosed injury. Barring a setback, Larkin should be fit to play against the Maple Leafs on Saturday evening. He's having his best offensive campaign to date, as evidenced by 26 goals -- thanks to a career-high shooting percentage (18.4) -- 28 assists and 11 power-play points through 47 contests.

EDGE Analysis

Although Larkin only missed Thursday's practice for maintenance-related reasons, he remains a question mark for Saturday's matchup with the Maple Leafs. Confirmation on Larkin's availability should surface prior to puck drop versus Toronto.
