Larkin Scores in Return to Lineup as Red Wings Deal Senators 1st Loss of the Season 5-3
The center returned after an injury absence and trade request, then scored the go-ahead goal as Detroit improved to 1-2.
- 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.
