Detroit Red Wings News
Dylan Larkin (upper body) was back in a non-contact jersey Thursday but is unavailable for the weekend and will be reevaluated next week.
Although in a non-contact jersey, Larkin's presence at practice was a positive sign for the Red Wings as he appears to have avoided a worst-case injury. Larkin will not play this weekend and will be re-evaluated next week. Before his injury, Larkin had eight points (6G / 2A) during a six-game point streak.
JT Compher (undisclosed) was a full participant in the Red Wings' practice Thursday but will not play vs. Carolina.
Earlier this week, Red Wings head coach Derek Lalonde stated that Compher could be available to return on Thursday but it looks more to be a Saturday activity after it was announced he was not quite ready after practice. After being a full participant at practice on Thursday, centring a line with Alex DeBrincat and Patrick Kane, Compher appeared to be on track to return to action but will delay that one more game. The 28-year-old Compher is pacing for the best season of his career with 19 points (6G / 13A) in 24 games.

Holl will draw back into the lineup for Tuesday's game in St. Louis.
Holl will re-enter the Red Wings' lineup on Tuesday as Detroit opts to dress seven defensemen for the tail-end of their back-to-back. He has zero goals and three assists in 20 games with the Red Wings this season.
Lagesson (illness) is on the ice for warmups and is expected to play on Long Island on Monday.
Lagesson did not play the last two games for the Maple Leafs due to an illness but will return to the lineup on Monday against the New York Islanders. Lagesson is averaging 15:00 time-on-ice, has one point (0G / 1A), and 25 hits in 14 games, skating primarily alongside Simon Benoit, though he'll start tonight's game on a pair with Jake McCabe.
Dylan Larkin (upper body) is out at least a week after being placed on the Injured Reserve Monday.
Larkin exited Saturday's contest against the Ottawa Senators, playing only 5:26 time-on-ice, after a scary incident that left him motionless on the ice for several moments. Larkin was able to skate off the ice with the help of his teammates but will be out of the lineup for a minimum of one week as he has been placed on the injured reserve. Zach Aston-Reese and Austin Czarnik have both been recalled from the Grand Rapids Griffins of the AHL. Larkin's absence creates a void at the center-ice position for the Red Wings, who are already without J.T. Compher (soreness).

Compher, and Klim Kostin have been placed on the injured reserve. Berggren has 15 points (5G / 10A) in 16 games with Grand Rapids (AHL) this season.

Coach Derek Lalonde stated that Compher could be available to return on Thursday.
