Las Vegas — Dylan Larkin was expected back on the ice Thursday night and in the lineup — completely healthy — when the Red Wings faced the Vegas Golden Knights.
Larkin was pulled between the second and third periods of Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Dallas Stars by league officials for COVID-19 protocol.
But Larkin was on the ice for the Wings' morning skate, after a test Wednesday confirmed the results of the first test were inaccurate, or "false positive."
When Larkin got news early Wednesday evening, still in Dallas quarantining, he rushed to the airport and traveled to Vegas, arriving late in the night.
