With Larkin sick, Pulkkinen may play for Wings at Ottawa

OTTAWA - Teemu Pulkkinen showed off his shot Saturday morning. He might get to do so again in the evening.

Dylan Larkin missed the morning skate because of illness, and will be a game-time decision for the Detroit Red Wings as they take on the Ottawa Senators (7 p.m., FSD) at Canadian Tire Centre. Head coach Jeff Blashill said if Larkin can't play, Pulkkinen will get into the lineup. He wouldn't necessarily slide into the spot occupied by Larkin next to Brad Richards and Tomas Tatar, with Blashill saying Gustav Nyquist might be in the spot. Larkin leads the Wings with 19 goals.
