Larkin (lower body) won't play Tuesday versus Columbus and is considered questionable for Thursday's game against the Islanders, Max Bultman of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Larkin skated with the team Tuesday, which is an encouraging sign, but he'll nonetheless be sidelined for at least one more game due to his lower-body injury. The 27-year-old pivot has racked up 26 goals and 54 points through 55 contests this campaign, so fantasy managers should plan on keeping a close eye on his status leading up to puck drop versus the Isles.

Larkin (lower body) won't return this weekend but might resume practicing after that, Ansar Khan of MLive.com reports Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

That rules Larkin out for Detroit's upcoming contests against Arizona, Buffalo and Pittsburgh on Thursday, Saturday and Sunday, respectively. He has 26 goals and 54 points in 55 appearances in 2023-24. Larkin should serve in a top-six capacity and on the first power-play unit when healthy.

Larkin is expected to be sidelined for approximately two weeks with a lower-body injury.

EDGE Analysis

Given the expected length of Larkin's absence, it wouldn't be surprising to see him land on injured reserve in the coming days. J.T. Compher will likely get the first crack at taking over as the top-line center while Larkin, who's racked up 26 goals and 54 points through 55 contests this season, is on the shelf.

EDGE Analysis

The Red Wings got blanked through the first two periods, but Larkin woke his team up by scoring his 25th goal of the season midway through the third. The 27-year-old then drew two defenders to him in OT before dropping a no-look backhand pass to Patrick Kane for the winner. Larkin has found the scoresheet in three straight games, and in 19 contests since the beginning of January he's racked up 12 goals and 20 points.

Larkin crafted a power-play goal in Saturday's 5-0 win over the Flames.

EDGE Analysis

Larkin entered the contest with a minus-7 rating and box-score goose eggs between the previous three games, but it's rare that a player of his caliber would be held down for too long. Larkin's up to 24 goals and 24 assists for a point-per-game average. His man-advantage helper gives him 20 power-play points for the season, yet there's still hope among Detroit fans that the captain can set the bar even higher since Patrick Kane is healthy again and thriving with a four-game point streak on the right wing.

Larkin tallied a pair of goals in Saturday's 5-2 win over Vegas.

EDGE Analysis

Larkin opened the scoring five minutes into the first period, beating Logan Thompson with a wrister off the rush before sealing the Detroit victory with an empty-netter. The two-score game extended Larkin's point streak to 11 contests -- he has nine goals and 15 points in that span. Overall, the 27-year-old center has 46 points (22 goals, 24 assists) through 43 outings this season.

Larkin scored the game-winning goal in Thursday's 3-0 victory over the Flyers.

EDGE Analysis

The 27-year-old roofed a bouncing puck over Samuel Ersson less than two minutes into the second period to open the scoring, and it was all the offense Alex Lyon would need. Larkin extended his point streak to 10 games in the process, a surge in which he's racked up seven goals and 13 points. He remains on pace for a career-best season with 20 goals and 44 points in 42 contests.

Larkin scored a power-play goal and added an even-strength assist in Tuesday's 5-4 loss to the Stars.

EDGE Analysis

Both points came in the third period as Detroit tried to rally from a 5-2 deficit. Larkin extended his point streak to nine games with the performance, a stretch in which he's compiled six goals and 12 points, and nearly half of that production (four goals and a helper) has come on the power play.

Larkin managed a power-play assist in Friday's 4-2 loss to the Hurricanes.

EDGE Analysis

There's no doubt that Larkin cares more about the pursuit of winning hockey games than a personal point streak, and the Wings fell short in this one, but fantasy managers counting on Detroit's captain must be thrilled that he's put up a goal or an assist in seven consecutive tilts. Larkin has motored his way toward five goals and four assists in that span, plus he's two man-advantage points away from 20 for the second time in his career.
