As if losing two top six forwards in Tyler Bertuzzi and Jakub Vrana wasn’t enough, the Detroit Red Wings may have to prepare for life without yet another hugely valuable member of the roster. 

Captain Dylan Larkin, who scored a goal tonight against the Chicago Blackhawks, left the game after taking a cross check to the back and immediately went to the dressing room in obvious pain.

This could be especially worrisome for Larkin, who underwent core muscle surgery this past offseason.

Needless to say, this would be a major blow to an already depleted Red Wings lineup.
