It’s no secret what Dylan Larkin’s quest for Olympic gold means to US men’s hockey team

MILAN — It’s been almost a decade since Dylan Larkin competed in the NHL playoffs.

That was at the end of his rookie season in 2015-16, when the Red Wings could only muster one win against the Lightning in a five-game first-round series. Detroit has since missed the playoffs for nine consecutive seasons, the league’s second-longest postseason drought. 

The Red Wings were in playoff position when the Olympic break began.

For Larkin, however, helping Team USA into gold-medal position first would be welcomed by a player who hasn’t truly won anything in 12 years.
