Larkin left Friday's loss to the Panthers after suffering a non-contact injury on a shot attempt. It didn't look good, but head coach Todd McLellan told reporters post-game that he doesn’t think it's long-term. He added that Larkin will undergo further evaluation to determine a timeline for his return.
Perron hasn't played since January 20th due to a sports hernia, but Red Wings' GM Steve Yzerman announced he is expected to re-debut with the team before the end of the month. The 37-year-old Perron returns to Detroit, where he spent the 2022-23 and 2023-24 seasons, racking up 41 goals and 62 assists across 158 games. He was acquired in a trade on Thursday from the Ottawa Senators for a conditional 2026 fourth-round pick.
Faulk has had an excellent season for a struggling St. Louis Blues team and will join the Detroit Red Wings as they continue their late-season push to return to the postseason. The 33-year-old averaged 22:30 time-on-ice, recording 32 points, 102 blocks, and 49 hits in 61 games with the Blues this season.
Gibson exited Monday's 4-2 win over the Nashville Predators in the first intermission due to an upper-body injury and did not suit up for Wednesday's game against the Vegas Golden Knights. That said, he was back at practice on Thursday and will likely tend the twine on Friday against the Florida Panthers. The 32-year-old Gibson has only lost six of his last 25 games (19-5-1), posting an impressive 2.06 GAA and .925 SV%, leading the Red Wings to a playoff spot over the past two months. The Red Wings enter Friday's contest as -142 home favourites against a struggling Panthers team that extended their losing streak to four games (0-4-0) with a 4-2 loss last night to the Columbus Blue Jackets.
Perron hasn't played since January 20th due to a sports hernia. He needs to play in either a regular season or playoff game with the Red Wings in order for the Senators to receive the fourth-round pick. The draft pick could also become Detroit's 2026 third-rounder if the Red Wings make the second round of the playoffs and Perron plays in 50% of the round one games. Perron returns to Detroit where he spent the 2022-23 and 2023-24 seasons, racking up 41 goals and 62 assists across 158 games.
With John Gibson returning from an upper-body injury, the Red Wings have reassigned Cossa to the AHL. Cossa, the 15th-overall pick in the 2021 NHL Entry Draft, has performed remarkably well at the AHL level this season, registering a 1.99 GAA and .927 SV% in 31 games (24-4-3) with Grand Rapids.
Gibson exited Monday's 4-2 win over the Nashville Predators in the first intermission due to an upper-body injury and did not suit up for Wednesday's game against the Vegas Golden Knights. It's uncertain if Gibson will be ready for Friday's game against the Florida Panthers, but his presence at practice on Thursday is an encouraging sign. The 32-year-old Gibson has only lost six of his last 25 games (19-5-1), posting an impressive 2.06 GAA and .925 SV%, leading the Red Wings to a playoff spot over the past two months.
Larkin was the victim of a vicious cross-check late in the third period of Wednesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Vegas Golden Knights and had difficulty regaining composure and exiting the ice, but seemingly avoided major repercussions after returning to the ice in overtime. That said, the 29-year-old Larkin was absent from practice on Thursday, and his status is unclear heading into Friday's game against the Florida Panthers.
Gibson exited Monday's 4-2 win over the Nashville Predators in the first intermission due to an upper-body injury and will remain sidelined on Wednesday, allowing Cam Talbot to start against the Vegas Golden Knights. The 32-year-old Gibson has only lost six of his last 25 games (19-5-1), posting an impressive 2.06 GAA and .925 SV%, leading the Red Wings to a playoff spot over the past two months. The Red Wings have recalled Sebastian Cossa from Grand Rapids (AHL) in a corresponding move.
With John Gibson (upper body) unavailable, Talbot will tend the twine on Wednesday against the Vegas Golden Knights. The 38-year-old Talbot was excellent in relief of Gibson in Monday's 4-2 win over the Nashville Predators, saving 18 of 19 shots (.947 SV%) in two periods of play. That said, he had a poor showing in his most recent start, allowing five goals on 36 shots (.861 SV%) in a 5-2 loss to the Carolina Hurricanes, and has lost four straight starts (0-3-1). The Red Wings enter Wednesday's contest as -124 home favourites against a Golden Knights team on a three-game losing streak (0-3-0).

Gibson was replaced by Cam Talbot, who stands to see an increase workload if Gibson misses any time. The 32-year-old Gibson has only lost six of his last 25 games (19-5-1), posting an impressive 2.06 GAA and .925 SV%, leading the Red Wings to a playoff spot over the past two months. An update should be provided on Gibson following the game.
After a rocky start to his Red Wings tenure, Gibson has been tremendous between the pipes and picked up where he left off before the Olympic break, saving 26 of 27 shots (.963 SV%) in his most recent outing, a 2-1 win over the Ottawa Senators. The 32-year-old goalie has only lost six of his last 25 games (19-5-1), posting an impressive 2.06 GAA and .925 SV%. The Red Wings enter Monday's contest as slight -103 road underdogs against the Nashville Predators.
Edvinsson will draw back into Detroit's lineup after sitting out their last few games before the break. The 22-year-old Swedish defenseman has emerged as an effective top-pair defenseman for the Red Wings. He is averaging 22:35 time-on-ice and has 17 points (6G / 11A) in 48 games this season.
Gibson will unsurprisingly get the nod between the pipes when the Red Wings return from the Olympic break on Thursday. Gibson entered the break on a sour note, allowing three goals on 24 shots in a 4-1 loss in Utah on February 4th. The 13-year-veteran owns a 22-12-2 record to go along with a .904 SV% on the season. Gibson and the Wings enter action on Thursday at +130 on the money line.
Larkin concluded his participation at the Olympics with a Gold Medal victory for the USA on Sunday and is anticipating playing when the Red Wings return to action on Thursday against the Ottawa Senators. The 29-year-old Larkin was impactful at the Olympics, playing an integral middle-six role and scoring three points (2G/1A) in six games. Larkin has 51 points (26G / 25A) in 58 games this season and will look to continue his near point-per-game pace as the Red Wings continue their battle for playoff positioning.
