Larkin (lower body) will be a game-time decision versus the Islanders on Thursday, Daniella Bruce of the Red Wings' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Larkin could be ready to return from an eight-game absence due to his lower-body issue. At this point, if the 27-year-old center can't go Thursday, fantasy players can probably expect him back against Nashville on Saturday. Prior to his absence, Larkin notched three goals on 15 shots and four assists in his last eight outings. He'll retake his spot on the first line whenever he's cleared to play.
