The Detroit Red Wings were dealt a tough blow on Tuesday night when their captain, Dylan Larkin, suffered an injury from a hit from behind during the game against the Ottawa Senators. The Senators went on to defeat the Red Wings 5-1 in the end.
The hit occurred in the second period when Larkin was skating with the puck in the Senators’ zone. He was hit from behind by Senators forward Brady Tkachuk, who was given a two-minute minor penalty for interference. Larkin left the game and did not return.
The Red Wings were already down 1-0 at the time of the hit, and the Senators took advantage of the situation, scoring four more goals in the third period to seal the victory.
The loss of Larkin was a major blow for the Red Wings, as he is one of their top players and leads the team in points. He has been a key part of the team’s success this season, and his absence will be felt.
The Red Wings will now have to regroup and find a way to stay competitive without their captain. They will need to rely on other players to step up and fill the void left by Larkin’s injury.
The Senators, meanwhile, will be looking to build on their win and continue their strong play. They have been one of the top teams in the league this season, and they will be hoping to keep their momentum going.
The severity of Larkin’s injury is not yet known, but it is clear that it was a costly one for the Red Wings. They will now have to find a way to stay competitive without their captain, while the Senators will look to keep their winning streak alive.
