Larkin (personal) will be absent from Thursday's game against Boston.

EDGE Analysis

With the Wings in the midst of a four-game road trip, Larkin should probably be considered questionable, at best, to play versus the Sabres on Saturday. Whenever the 25-year-old center does return to the lineup, he should immediately retake his spot on the first line in addition to jumping back onto the No. 1 power-play unit.
