Jeff Blashill doesn't believe Dylan Larkin has played his last game this season.

The Detroit Red Wings' star center sat out the 3-2 shootout victory over the New York Rangers on Thursday, which snapped an eight-game losing streak. Larkin is dealing with a back issue and will be reevaluated on Tuesday. He'll miss back-to-back road games against Tampa Bay and Florida this weekend but there are no plans to shut him down.
