The Wings did practice today except for Nielsen who was dealing with a tweak. He is expected to play tomorrow.
from Dana Wakiji of the Wings website,
Red Wings center and alternate captain Dylan Larkin takes a lot upon himself when the team is not doing well.
Despite a two-game win streak and three-game home winning streak, Detroit remains in last place with 27 points (12-30-3), 10 points behind the New Jersey Devils (15-21-7).
Larkin, who had a career-high 73 points (32-41-73) in 76 games last season, has not been on the same offensive pace this season.
