Dylan Larkin will not skate with the Detroit Red Wings when training camp starts on Thursday due to an upper-body injury sustained during off-ice training, according to interim general manager Shawn Horcoff. The injury occurred earlier this week, and Horcoff said the team's focus is on getting Larkin healthy. Larkin had requested a trade during the offseason and was stripped of his captaincy. Horcoff was named interim general manager on Tuesday after Steve Yzerman stepped down in mid-July. Larkin has five seasons left on his eight-year, $69.6 million contract with a no-trade clause.
