The Red Wings have two huge games vs. the Bruins and the Maple Leafs prior to the All-Star break, but they’ll be without Larkin. Larkin has had a tough season, posting just 12 goals and six assists (18 points) in 47 games this season and should be replaced by either Steve Ott, who is on IR, or Drew Miller, should he clear waivers.
