Concerns about Dylan Larkin's long contract with the Red Wings have faded.
Larkin's absence has hurt the team, which has only won twice in eight games without him, scoring 37 goals while allowing 54.
Tonight, they face the Islanders and hope to bounce back from their earlier loss. Larkin, still recovering, will be evaluated after practice.
Dylan Larkin will be a «post morning skate» evaluation. Has some testing to do. Won't know until this afternoon if he's tonight. Derek Lalonde said the good news is he's really close. #LGRW
Before his injury, he had 26 goals and 28 assists, ranking second on the team.
