The Detroit Red Wings head coach Todd McLellan addressed Dylan Larkin and others' absence from today's morning skate in a press conference.
The Red Wings were back on the ice today for a practice session following a 5-4 win over the Boston Bruins this morning.
During the game, the team had to watch Michael Rasmussen walk down the tunnel with an injury, and as Todd McLellan mentioned last night, more details on his health were available today:
"Ras got double hit, I think, by a couple of heavy players. He was examined, just didn't have strength to come back. Nothing is damaged or anything like that, so we'll see how he is in the morning."
Indeed, he shared an update on Rasmussen's situation, as well as Dylan Larkin, who also missed the practice.
Todd McLellan Shares Injury Update On Rasmussen And Explains Why Larkin Missed Practice Today
After the on-ice session, McLellan announced in a press conference that Larkin had to miss practice due to a maintenance day, stating that Rasmussen should also be fine.
Per Ansar Khan:
"McLellan said Larkin had a maintenance day and is good to go. Rasmussen also is fine after getting hurt last night."
Dylan Larkin has been the best player of the Detroit Red Wings this season, with 30 points, including 14 goals.
They should both be available for the Red Wings' next game, tomorrow night, against the Columbus Blue Jackets, the eighth team in the Metropolitan Division, with a 12-9-5 record, but with only five points separating them from the top spot held by the Carolina Hurricanes.
Stay tuned for further updates.
