Dylan Larkin plays and scores in his first game for the Red Wings since asking for a trade
He returned from injury, took early boos from home fans and scored 13 minutes into his first game back.
- On Tuesday, Oct. 6, center Dylan Larkin returned to the Detroit Red Wings lineup against the Ottawa Senators at Little Caesars Arena, scoring a first-period goal to give Detroit a 2-1 lead.
- Controversy has surrounded Larkin since he requested a trade shortly after last season; the Red Wings stripped him of his captaincy in September, though he remains under contract through 2030-31 at $8.7 million annually.
- Returning from an upper-body injury that sidelined him since mid-August, Larkin received strong support from teammate Moritz Seider, who said, "I think he's going to help us, hopefully a big spark."
- Though fans booed upon his first shift Tuesday, the crowd's reaction turned mixed when Larkin scored, generating both cheers and jeers in the arena.
- Management's preference remains working through the situation, as no trade offers have matched Larkin's value to the Red Wings, keeping the center in the lineup despite uncertainty.
