The fleet-footed forward appears to be taking his leadership role as alternate captain seriously, and it's been a nice change of pace for a player who struggled along with the rest of the Red Wings in his sophomore season. With much credit owed to Larkin, the U.S. team finds itself undefeated after three games in the preliminary round of the international tourney.
