Dylan Larkin is one of the Red Wings' top forwards. During the 2022-2023 season, he posted a career-high 32 goals and 79 points, the second season where he'd post 70+ points.
Now, fans are wondering where the Captain has gone, as his production after the return from the Four Nations Face Off has tanked.
In the last five games, when the
Red Wings need his contributions to stay competitive. While the team stagnates, so does his production, as he has been in a five-game points drought.
While in his last 19 games played for the Red Wings he's contributed only 10 points in that time frame.
The last three of those came against the Vegas Golden Knights on March 22nd (2 assists) and the Washington Capitals on March 18th (1 goal).
Is he playing through an injury? What is the explanation for the Red Wings' top-center underperforming at an important time in the season?
While the Captain remains pointless in his last five, the Red Wings are four points out of the second wild-card spot in the playoffs, with 75.
The Montreal Canadiens have reclaimed their spot in the rankings from the New York Rangers.
Todd McLellan needs to find where
Dylan Larkin's head is, and will it require a GPS? Cause he's been a ghost.
In 74 games this season he's scored 62 points (28 goals, 34 assists).
