MLive’s Ansar Khan penned an article discussing the Red Wings’ situation with Jakub Vrana, who’s seeing a shoulder specialist on Monday, as well as the team’s plan to get Dylan Larkin slowly but surely back into full-contact activities:
Dylan Larkin did not participate in Sunday’s Red and White training camp scrimmage, but Blashill said he will get in some preseason games.
“I’m not going to use him in the first (several) games,” Blashill said. “We got a progression we’re working through and part of that was not to put him in today’s game and part of it is not going in those early exhibition games, but he’ll get in there eventually. I’d like to get him in probably three.
“I prefer some of those veteran guys get in the latter half (of the preseason) so they can hit the ground running once we get into the regular season.”
Larkin missed the final eight games last season due to a neck injury but practiced the first three days of camp.
