Larkin scored a goal on three shots and went plus-3, but also took a match penalty for intent to injure in Thursday's 7-6 overtime loss to the Lightning.
EDGE Analysis
The 25-year-old center netted the Red Wings' first goal of the year at 14-minute mark of the first period. Larkin's game ended early after he punched Mathieu Joseph midway through the second period after the latter delivered a somewhat high hit on the former. The intent to injure designation likely means Larkin is looking at some form of supplemental discipline for his actions. The Department of Player Safety will likely review the incident, and their assessment will determine if Larkin can suit up for Saturday's game versus the Canucks.
