Dylan Larkin had a very good 2023-2024 season with the Detroit Redwings, but he did miss some time with an injury. He ended up playing 68 games of the 82 and the Detroit Red Wings were 37-22-9 with Larkin in 2023-24. If he played all 82 games or even a few more, they would have made the playoffs in 2024.
Larkin had a career-high 33 goals last season, and 69 points in 68 games. He was a massive key to the Wings last year.
