Red Wings' Dylan Larkin: Gets on board in loss

Larkin potted his eighth goal of the season in Saturday's 5-3 loss to the Penguins.

Analysis:

Larkin lifted a one-timer from the circle to give the Red Wings a 3-1 lead, but after that, it was four unanswered tallies from the Penguins to finish the contest. It's been a trying sophomore season for No. 71. The speeder has skated to a minus-6 rating with only nine points though 25 games, but in fairness to him, he's been moved from the wing to the center spot and back at times this season, and it's been hard for him to build chemistry with others due to the team being so banged up -- nine players are currently on IR.
