- Ansar Khan: Red Wings coach Derek Lalonde said they’ll see how Larkin feels in the morning and if he’ll be able to play. Forwards J.T. Compher and David Perron were given maintenance days and forward Michael Rasmussen was sick.
- NHL.com: Lalonde of Larkin: “Skated today, so that was certainly a positive. Obviously, we had some real reps for him, too, which was his first time, so will get a better feel from the trainer and how he responds from it. … He is progressively getting better.”
Jameson Olive: Florida Panthers coach Paul Maurice said that forward Aleksander Barkov should be in the lineup tonight.
Forward Matthew Tkachuk didn’t skate yesterday with Maurice adding that they’ll need to see him on the ice first before determining if he can play or not.

- Joe Smith of the Athletic: The Wild won’t know a timeline in Brodin until they get back to Minnesota. Don’t expect him back this weekend. He’ll be out for a little while.
