Dylan Larkin Takes Responsibility for Red Wings' Three-Game Losing Streak

Detroit Red Wings captain Dylan Larkin has taken responsibility for the team's recent struggles, including a three-game regulation slide where they've struggled to score. Following their third consecutive setback against the Chicago Blackhawks, Larkin pointed to his own performance, specifically not winning key face-offs and missing scoring opportunities. He noted, "Starts with the face-off, which I take most of the time, and not winning them, and we’re going down 200 feet and that’s on me." Larkin also mentioned missing "two back doors in two nights and zero goals to show for that." Despite scoring Detroit's only goal in the first period, he had a golden chance on a two-on-one rush denied by goaltender Arvid Soderblom. The Red Wings, who started 5-1, are now 4-6 and have failed to convert on their last 13 power-play opportunities, a unit Larkin believes has the personnel to be good.
