DETROIT -- Dylan Larkin will not be on the ice to start training camp with the Detroit Red Wings because of an upper-body injury sustained during off-ice training earlier this week, interim general manager Shawn Horcoff said Wednesday.
Larkin, who has requested a trade , will be with the team rehabbing.
"It's going to take him a little bit of time to get back from it, and when we have a better timeline of when he will be back and available, we'll let everybody know," Horcoff said.
