Detroit Red Wings' Dylan Larkin removed from game for COVID-19 protocol

DALLAS — The Detroit Red Wings are facing uncertainty after losing captain Dylan Larkin to COVID-19 protocol.

They packed up and headed to Vegas without Larkin after Tuesday's 5-2 loss against the Stars, which Larkin did not finish because he was removed after the second period.

Coach Jeff Blashill had few answers in the immediate aftermath at American Airlines Center, but said there would be a "sequence of things. Right now he's out for COVID protocol."

Blashill said Larkin was to stay in Dallas. The Wings play at Vegas on Thursday and at Arizona on Saturay before returning to Detroit.
