Dylan Larkin skates with the team at practice for first time

Detroit Red Wings center Dylan Larkin returned to practice on Wednesday as a full participant with no contact limitations. Larkin had missed the opening of training camp the prior week due to an upper-body injury announced by interim General Manager Shawn Horcoff. His full participation suggests he may be ready to play by opening night.

Larkin's return comes amid an eventful offseason that reportedly included a publicly leaked trade request following the conclusion of the previous season. While questions regarding his preferred trade destinations remain unaddressed, Larkin and the Red Wings appear to be proceeding as normal with the regular season less than a week away.
