Detroit Red Wings captain Dylan Larkin is in trouble with the NHL for punching a foe in the season opener.
The league's Department of Player Safety tweeted Friday morning "Larkin will have a hearing today for Roughing Tampa Bay’s Mathieu Joseph."
Larkin was ejected at 11:40 in the second period of the 7-6 overtime loss at Little Caesars Arena. It started when Joseph drove Larkin headfirst into the boards. Larkin took offense; he suffered an injury April 20 that landed him in the hospital when Dallas' Jamie Benn shoved his stick into Larkin's neck.
