Larkin suffered his frightening injury last game against the Ottawa Senators after being punched in the head by Mathieu Joseph. The captain laid down on the ice before later getting off it without needing a stretcher.

The hope is now that Larkin's recovery is a speedy one and that the star forward does not suffer any setbacks in the process.

In 24 games this season, Larkin has 11 goals, 25 points, and a plus-9 rating. He has been a big reason for the Red Wings' early-season success, and the club will be hoping that he is good enough to return to action soon because of it.
