Detroit Red Wings captain Dylan Larkin will miss around two weeks with a lower-body injury, head coach Derek Lalonde said Monday.

Larkin exited late in a 4-0 loss to the Florida Panthers on Saturday and didn't take part in Monday's practice.

The 27-year-old is the Wings' leader in goals (26) and points (54) this season. He missed six games earlier in the campaign, including four in December after he briefly lay motionless on the ice with an undisclosed injury against the Ottawa Senators.

Detroit came into Monday occupying the first wild-card spot in the Eastern Conference. The team has 21 regular-season games left, with seven of those scheduled through March 18.

Larkin is in his ninth season with the Red Wings, who drafted him 15th overall in 2014.
