News: 2 days agoLarkin contributed two goals -- including a power-play tally -- in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Capitals.
Spin: Larkin is already gelling with Alex DeBrincat, who arrived in Detroit after an offseason sign-and-trade transaction. Last season, Larkin tied personal bests based on 32 goals and 47 assists, and he showed marked improvement on the man advantage with 31 points, smashing previous career highs in that key special teams spot. With the help of DeBrincat, this could be the year that Larkin becomes a truly elite fantasy option.
ESPN Fantasy Projection: Larkin tied his career-best mark with 32 goals in 2022-23, and his 79 points (in 80 games) were a new high-water mark. Larkin's jump in overall production directly correlated to an increased role with the man advantage. He finished with 16 goals and 31 points on the power play - he had never previously posted more than 15 power-play points in a season. Fresh off signing a new eight-year, $69.6 million deal with the Red Wings in March, Larkin could easily crack the point-per-game pace in 2023-24 following Detroit's addition of Alex DeBrincat, who should flank Larkin on Detroit's No. 1 line this year.
