Sunday didn't unfold the way the Detroit Red Wings had hoped, especially for their captain, Dylan Larkin.
Larkin found himself once again on the wrong side of an apparent injury after taking a cross check to the back, courtesy of Anaheim Ducks forward Mason McTavish. The forceful hit left Larkin caught between two players as he absorbed the blow.
In the aftermath, Larkin's frustration was evident. Leaving the ice, he expressed his displeasure by slamming his stick into the boards before making his way to the Red Wings locker room.
On a positive note, the second period saw Larkin back on the ice for the power play, signaling a potential comeback.
