Detroit — Dylan Larkin leaped over the boards on a line change, directly in front of a Red Wings rush into the Flyers’ zone.
Perfect position for the speedy scorer.
As the play developed, he stumbled. It was as if Larkin tripped over the blue line; a rare moment of awkwardness in a glittering three-month debut.
Back on the bench at the end of the shift, Larkin sat at the far end adjacent to the broadcasting position between the teams. After a whistle, he placed his head firmly against the Plexiglas to his right, to better see a television monitor with the live feed of replays.
