Hindustan Times · sports

Detroit Red Wings center Dylan Larkin will miss the season opener against the New York Rangers due to an upper-body injury sustained during an off-ice workout. He has been placed on injured reserve, ruling him out for at least the first two games of the 2026-27 season. Coach Todd McLellan expressed hope for Larkin's return by the third game on Tuesday, October 6. The absence follows Larkin's trade request and loss of captaincy, and he was booed by some fans during pregame introductions.
