LAS VEGAS — Detroit Red Wings captain Dylan Larkin was back on the ice Thursday after a brief COVID-19 scare.
Larkin was pulled during Tuesday's game at Dallas after a positive test and placed in pandemic protocol after a false positive. He stayed in Dallas as his teammates flew on to Las Vegas, where they play tonight.
Larkin has 14 points in 14 games, and is on a three-game goal-scoring streak.
Players undergo more testing after an initial positive. Vaccinated players undergo PCR tests every three days, while Tyler Bertuzzi, the NHL's only unvaccinated player, is tested daily.
