Red Wings' Dylan Larkin: Dealing with upper-body issue
Rotowire
The Red Wings are hopeful Larkin (upper body) will be available for Tuesday's game versus the Rangers, Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press reports.
Larkin's status against New York may boil down to a game-time decision, so fantsay managers playing in leagues with daily lineup changes should plan accordingly. The 27-year-old pivot has been excellent this season, racking up five goals and 17 points through 12 games. If Larkin's unavailable, the Red Wings may need to go with 11 forwards and seven defensemen versus the Rangers.

Red Wings' Dylan Larkin: Three points on PP in win
Rotowire
Larkin scored a goal and added two assists, all on the power play, in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Senators.
The Red Wings continue to sizzle with the man advantage, and Larkin has been at the heart of the team's potent power-play performance. The 27-year-old has found the scoresheet in five straight games to begin the season, amassing two goals and nine points, and all of those points aside from two helpers have come up a man. Larkin has fallen just short of a point-per-game pace in each of the last two campaigns, but he appears poised to blow past that level of production in 2023-24.

Rotowire
Larkin notched an assist and skated to a plus-3 rating in Saturday's 6-4 win over the Lightning.
Larkin came up empty on seven shots, but he delivered the primary apple to Alex DeBrincat for his new linemate's second goal of the game. While it may take some time for the duo to get in sync on a consistent basis, Larkin finally has a top-line cohort who can take enough pressure off him to make a tangible difference game in and game out.

Red Wings' Dylan Larkin: Pots two goals in preseason tilt
Rotowire
Larkin contributed two goals -- including a power-play tally -- in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Capitals.
Larkin is already gelling with Alex DeBrincat, who arrived in Detroit after an offseason sign-and-trade transaction. Last season, Larkin tied personal bests based on 32 goals and 47 assists, and he showed marked improvement on the man advantage with 31 points, smashing previous career highs in that key special teams spot. With the help of DeBrincat, this could be the year that Larkin becomes a truly elite fantasy option.

Red Wings' Dylan Larkin: Leads team as expected
Rotowire
Larkin tied his career highs in goals (32) and assists (47) through 80 games this season.
While the captain narrowly missed out on a point-per-game average in his eighth season, Larkin had 23 points more than the next-highest skater donning the Winged Wheel, which was David Perron in his first year with the team. Fantasy managers know what they're getting with Larkin; he's a consistent offensive producer, and this year the young leader leveled up to the tune of 31 power-play points, but the Wings need to court an elite top-line winger in free agency or via a trade to help him reach new heights offensively. After all, there's still a wide gap in value between Larkin and the 10 forwards that notched at least 100 points this year.
