Larkin left Tuesday's practice early but was on the ice for Wednesday's morning skate. Jeff Blashill officially called him a game-time decision, but it seems likely that he will play. Monitor his status as the Red Wings hit the ice for warmups at 7:00 PM ET.

Larkin left Tuesday's practise early and is questionable to play Wednesday. The Red Wings were evaluating Larkin after the practice session and should have more clarity on Wednesday morning.



Simek was a healthy scratch for the last two games but will replace Ryan Merkley in the lineup on Tuesday. Simek brings almost no offence to the table, posting just two points (1G / 1A) in 29 games.


Tarasenko was scratched in Toronto on Saturday but was on the ice for Monday's practice and is expected to play vs. the Flyers on Tuesday. Tarasenko has scored 10 goals with 12 assists (22 points) in his last 16 games.


Chiarot missed the last two games with a lower-body injury but is expected to play against the Islanders. Chiarot appears to be one of the most coveted players at this year's trade deadline and enters Sunday with five goals and four assists (nine points) in 44 games this season.

Tarasenko was not on the ice for Saturday's morning skate and will not play vs. the Maple Leafs. With Tarasenko out, Jordan Kyrou will skate with Robert Thomas and Pavel Buchnevich.


Copp was scratched from the lineup on Thursday and will likely miss Saturday's game vs. the Oilers. The Jets also lost Cole Perfetti in yesterday's game, so their depth will be tested for a few games.

Gustafsson has played in two straight games but will be replaced by Alec Regula in the lineup on Friday.
