Detroit Red Wings captain Dylan Larkin will miss the remainder of the season, coach Jeff Blashill announced Friday.
Larkin scored a goal late in the third period during the Red Wings’ 5-2 loss to the Dallas Stars on Tuesday. The forward exited soon after with an upper-body injury and did not play in Detroit’s 7-3 victory over Dallas on Thursday.
Per Blashill, Larkin will be re-evaluated in two weeks. The Red Wings (17-25-7, 41 points) reside 11 points behind the fourth-place Nashville Predators in the Central Division with seven games remaining on their schedule.
