The Detroit Red Wings organization has just gotten a huge boost. Something that seems like it happened much earlier than expected. It looks like Dylan Larkin will be able to return to play.

According to the Detroit Red Wings account on X, Larkin has been activated from Injured Reserve, meaning he'll be able to return to the lineup. Take a look.

Larkin, of course, has been out since being cross-checked by Ottawa Senators forward Mathieu Joseph.

The 27 year old Larkin had been having a great season before his injury, registering 24 points in 25 games including 11 goals and 14 assists.

It's great to see Larkin make a return to play so soon, especially as there was previously no time table for his return.
