Red Wings provide bad update regarding captain Dylan Larkin

Detroit Red Wings forward and captain Dylan Larkin didn't play during last night's 3-0 loss to the Montreal Canadiens owing to "personal reasons". The expectation was that he'd re-join his team today for practice in Boston as the team prepares for their game against the Bruins tomorrow.

However, according to head coach Jeff Blashill, there's been no change in Larkin's status. In fact, he didn't skate today.

The good news is that forward Tyler Bertuzzi was back at practice with the team, skating on a line with Lucas Raymond and Robby Fabbri.

“He’s up to speed,” Blashill said of Bertuzzi. “He skated at home, he has put himself in position to step in and have success. I have no worries about him stepping into the lineup.” 

The Red Wings will take on the Bruins tomorrow night.
