Red Wings Deal With Larkin Injury, Edvinsson Standoff, and Lineup Shifts
Detroit placed Dylan Larkin on non-roster injured reserve retroactive to mid-August after an off-ice upper-body injury, and he has requested a trade. Restricted free agent defenseman Simon Edvinsson remains unsigned, is training in Sweden, and has also requested a trade. With those absences, Todd McLellan is giving larger roles to J.T. Compher, Andrew Copp, and Nate Danielson while relying on Lucas Raymond and Alex DeBrincat for offense.
