Larkin contributed two goals -- including a power-play tally -- in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Capitals.

EDGE Analysis

Larkin is already gelling with Alex DeBrincat, who arrived in Detroit after an offseason sign-and-trade transaction. Last season, Larkin tied personal bests based on 32 goals and 47 assists, and he showed mark improvement on the man advantage with 31 points, smashing previous career highs in that key special teams spot. With the help of DeBrincat, this could be the year that Larkin becomes a truly elite fantasy option.

Larkin tied his career highs in goals (32) and assists (47) through 80 games this season.

EDGE Analysis

While the captain narrowly missed out on a point-per-game average in his eighth season, Larkin had 23 points more than the next-highest skater donning the Winged Wheel, which was David Perron in his first year with the team. Fantasy managers know what they're getting with Larkin; he's a consistent offensive producer, and this year the young leader leveled up to the tune of 31 power-play points, but the Wings need to court an elite top-line winger in free agency or via a trade to help him reach new heights offensively. After all, there's still a wide gap in value between Larkin and the 10 forwards that notched at least 100 points this year.

EDGE Analysis

The Wings are mathematically eliminated from playoff contention, but that won't stop the young captain from giving it his all. In Derek Lalonde's first year as head coach of the Wings, Larkin's tremendous work on the power play has been the most noticeable advancement to his offensive game. The Michigan native has dialed in 16 goals and 15 assists on the power play, which is 16 more than his previous career high set in 2018-19. Best of all, Larkin never seemed too distracted by contract talks leading up to his signing an eight-year, $69.7 million extension in March.
