The 28-year-old center has four points, nine shots on net, four hits, four blocked shots and a plus-1 rating.

Sets bar higher in ninth season Larkin finished with more points than games played for the first time in his nine-year career, adding 33 goals and 36 assists through 68 contests.

Impact A fierce competitor, Larkin fought to the bitter end of the regular season, and had it not been for the captain's late-season surge -- including the speedster producing two goals and five assists in the final four games -- the Wings wouldn't have had even the slightest hope for a playoff berth in those final moments of the 2023-24 campaign. Larkin appeared in five playoff games as a rookie in 2016, but the Wings haven't returned to the postseason since then. Staying healthy and solidifying his chemistry with Alex DeBrincat on the top line will be crucial steps in getting Larkin where he needs to be from both a fantasy standpoint and in terms of his playoff aspirations.

Captain Clutch Larkin scored the overtime goal on the power play to complement a regulation assist as the Red Wings snuck past the Maple Leafs, 5-4, on Saturday.

Impact This is an example of a captain showing up for the biggest moment of his entire season. A regulation loss would have eliminated the Red Wings from playoff contention, but Larkin was extremely clutch, and the team avoided a total meltdown despite permitting three unanswered goals in the second period. Larkin seems to hover around a point-per-game pace year in and year out with this season being no exception. The fleet-footed pivot has a career-high 33 goals to go along with 34 assists through 66 contests. There are two games to go for the Wings in the regular season.

Since returning from a lower-body injury, Larkin has racked up six goals and 11 points in the last 10 games, and he needs one more goal in the Red Wings' final three games to set a new career high with 33.

APRIL 12, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Dogged effort Saturday Larkin battled through a knee injury but was able to finish Saturday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Panthers, adding a power-play goal in the process.

However, he toughed it out and tied the game with four minutes to play in regulation. Larkin needs just one more goal and another helper for a 30-30 season, but those numbers won't mean all that much to him as long as his team is outside of the playoff picture. As of Sunday morning, the Wings are two points behind the Flyers for the second wild-card spot out from the Eastern Conference.

The 27-year-old captain has a team-leading 28 goals to complement that same number of assists through 56 contests. Detroit won just two games while Larkin was out of commission, whereas fans of the Winged Wheel had been hoping that the likes of Patrick Kane and Alex DeBrincat would've been able to hold down the fort. At any rate, the Original Six club holds the second wild-card spot in the Eastern Conference with 12 games left in the regular season.

MARCH 21, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Game-time call Thursday Larkin (lower body) will be a game-time decision versus the Islanders on Thursday, Daniella Bruce of the Red Wings' official site reports.
