Red Wings put captain Dylan Larkin on IR after cross-check that knocked him unconscious, National Sports

Detroit Red Wings captain Dylan Larkin was put on injured reserve two days after being knocked unconscious when he was cross-checked in the back of the head and neck by Ottawa’s Mathieu Joseph. The Red Wings also placed left wing J.T. Compher and center Klim Kostin on injured reserve with undisclosed injuries before their game at Dallas. Larkin lay motionless face-down on the ice for about a minute after the hit Saturday, though he was able to get up and leave the ice with assistance. Larkin will be unavailable for at least a week. Red Wings coach Derek Lalonde says the 27-year-old center is in good spirits.
