Dylan Larkin sustained an undisclosed injury and won’t return to Saturday’s game against Ottawa. Larkin was punched in the back of the head by Ottawa’s Mathieu Joseph, and the Red Wings’ forward consequently crashed into Parker Kelly, according to Max Bultman of The Athletic. Larkin was helped off the ice and will finish the contest with just 5:26 of ice time. If the 27-year-old doesn’t play Monday versus Dallas, Klim Kostin could draw back into the lineup.

Jamie Benn notched an assist in Saturday’s 6-1 loss to the Golden Knights. Benn has been excellent so far in December, earning four points with eight shots on net and six hits over five contests. He set up Evgenii Dadonov for the Stars’ lone goal in this game. Benn has 19 points, 42 shots on net, 24 hits, 19 blocked shots, 17 PIM and a plus-3 rating through 26 outings. It’s a lower scoring pace than his 78-point campaign from 2022-23, but he’s still offering solid all-around production.
