NHL Star Shares Tragic News After Losing A Family Member

A surprising turn of events unfolded for Detroit Red Wings' key player, Dylan Larkin, who found himself on the non-roster list just before the Wednesday game against the Chicago Blackhawks. This unexpected decision hinted that his absence from the lineup was unrelated to injuries. The true nature of this setback came to light on Friday morning, delivering poignant news to both fans and reporters.

In a heartfelt announcement, the captain of the Wings shared the tragic loss he and his wife Kenzy experienced regarding the eagerly anticipated arrival of their first child, as previously mentioned on Larkin's Instagram earlier this month.

In a recent comment, Larkin somberly revealed:

"This week, my wife and I said goodbye to our baby. It's hard to find words or positivity in this, but we greatly appreciate your support and understanding, and thank you for respecting our privacy."





The Hockey Feed extends its deepest sympathy to the Larkin family during this unparalleled grief of losing a child.

While Larkin retains eligibility to return to action at his own pace, his immediate priority understandably lies in being with his wife Kenzy and embarking on the healing process following this devastating loss.

Recognized for his on-ice prowess, Larkin has contributed significantly, notching eight goals and 13 assists, accumulating 21 points in 20 games and leading the Red Wings. As he contemplates a return, our hope is for him to find the support he needs within his dressing room.

Having achieved a career-high last season with 32 goals and 47 assists, totaling 79 points in 80 regular-season games, Larkin is currently in the initial year of an eight-year, $69,600,000 contract extension signed in March. Understandably, his focus now centers on personal healing and recovery during this challenging period.
