Larkin and Green out
Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press: Detroit Red Wings forward Dylan Larkin missed last night’s game with a back injury.
Defenseman Mike Green will be out for the rest of the season as the virus that he had earlier this season has come back. They don’t believe there will be a long-term concern for him.
Larkin had an MRI for his lingering issue.
“He had a little bit of it earlier in the year and it went away and then he’s had it here the last little bit,” Blashill said. “He’s tried to play through it. It’s really bothered him at different times to a point I didn’t know if he’d finish some games.”
