Concerns surrounding Dylan Larkin's extended absence from the Red Wings lineup have gradually faded.
The team has struggled in Larkin's absence, winning just twice in eight games and conceding 54 goals while scoring 37.
Tonight, as they face the Islanders, they aim to rebound from recent setbacks. Larkin, still in recovery, will undergo evaluation following practice.
"Dylan Larkin will be a «post morning skate» evaluation. Has some testing to do. Won't know until this afternoon if he's tonight. Derek Lalonde said the good news is he's really close. #LGRW»
