Larkin scored an even-strength goal and added a power-play assist in Monday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Sharks.
EDGE Analysis
Larkin delivered a multi-point effort for the third time across his last eight appearances, and he's gone scoreless just twice in that span, so there's no doubt he's trending in the right direction. The 28-year-old center, who operates in the middle of the first line and the first power-play unit, is up to six goals and three assists during that aforementioned eight-game span.

Larkin scored a goal on two shots and went minus-2 in Saturday's 4-1 loss to the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
Larkin's tally with 1:27 left in the third period denied David Rittich a shutout, but that was about it. The 28-year-old Larkin reached the 10-goal mark for the season with this tally, and he has scored five of them while adding two assists over seven contests in November. The center has 13 points, 44 shots on net, 10 PIM and a minus-6 rating through 17 outings in a top-line role.

Larkin scored a power-play goal in Friday's 3-1 loss to the Maple Leafs.
EDGE Analysis
Larkin found the back of the net midway through the second period with a wrist shot after being set up by Alex DeBrincat and Lucas Raymond. However, the equalizer wasn't enough to spark a comeback. Larkin has five goals over his last four appearances, and his nine goals rank first on the team through 13 games this season.

Larkin notched a goal and an assist in Wednesday's 4-1 win over the Blackhawks.
EDGE Analysis
Larkin set up Alex DeBrincat's opener with two seconds left in the opening period, and he gave the Red Wings the lead for good midway through the second frame with a wrist shot. This was the second straight multi-point game for Larkin, something he hadn't achieved all season long, and he seems to be trending in the right direction after a somewhat slow start to the campaign. He's up to eight goals in 12 appearances thus far, though fantasy managers would welcome an uptick in the playmaking department since he has just two assists to his name.

Larkin scored two power-play goals, one the game-winner, in Saturday's 2-1 victory over the Sabres.
EDGE Analysis
The Red Wings captain was involved in all the offense on the night, and all three goals came on Detroit power plays. It was Larkin's giveaway in the neutral zone that sprung Alex Tuch for a shortie to open the scoring for Buffalo midway through the first period, but Detroit's captain redeemed himself by striking twice with the man advantage in the second frame. Larkin is up to seven goals in 11 games to begin the season, with five of them coming on the power play, but he's contributed only one assist.

Larkin scored a power-play goal on two shots, added two PIM and went minus-3 in Wednesday's 6-2 loss to the Jets.
EDGE Analysis
Larkin has three goals over his last six games, all of which have come on the power play. The 28-year-old center has had a sluggish start to the campaign with five tallies, one assist, 26 shots on net, six hits, 10 PIM and a minus-2 rating over 10 appearances. He's shooting 19.2 percent, but Larkin can provide just about as well as he finishes, so look for him to make gains in assists as the season progresses.

Larkin scored his fourth goal of the season on the power play in Thursday's 5-3 win over New Jersey.
EDGE Analysis
Larkin compiled three shots, two PIM, one hit, three takeaways and a plus-1 rating in 23:00 of ice time. Larkin has found the back of the net in four of seven games, but he hasn't registered an assist since Detroit's season-opener against Pittsburgh on Oct. 10. The left-shot center has scored at least 31 goals in each of the last three campaigns, and he could reach the 40-goal plateau for the first time in his career if he continues his current goal-scoring pace. Larkin has produced four goals, one assist and a plus-2 rating through seven outings.

Larkin scored a power-play goal on two shots in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Predators.
EDGE Analysis
Larkin has scored in three of the Red Wings' five games so far, with his tally Saturday being his first power-play point of the year. The 28-year-old center has four points, nine shots on net, four hits, four blocked shots and a plus-1 rating. While that's a fairly modest scoring pace, Larkin frequently ranks among the Red Wings' leaders in ice time, so he should be capable of being a bit more explosive on offense.

Larkin scored a goal on two shots and blocked two shots in Monday's 4-1 loss to the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
Larkin scored for the second game in a row, this time tucking in a buzzer-beater at the end of the first period. The star center has two goals, one assist, five shots on net and four blocked shots through three contests. He's been just under a point-per-game pace over the last three seasons, so Larkin is a safe option as a borderline No. 1 fantasy center.

Larkin scored an empty-net goal on two shots and added two PIM in Saturday's 3-0 win over the Predators.
EDGE Analysis
Larkin has a goal, an assist, three shots on net and two blocked shots though the first two games of the season. The 28-year-old continues to center the top line and play on the top power-play unit, so he's in a position to succeed throughout the year. He'll likely have Alex DeBrincat on his left wing most of the time, but both Lucas Raymond and Patrick Kane have gotten looks as the top-line right wing early in the season.
