Seeking their first win of the 2026-27 season, the Detroit Red Wings announced <\/a>several roster moves ahead of tonight\u2019s contest against the Ottawa Senators. The Red Wings activated forward Dylan Larkin<\/a> from injured reserve and recalled Sheldon Dries<\/a> under emergency conditions from the AHL\u2019s Grand Rapids Griffins. Additionally, Detroit has placed Marco Kasper<\/a> and Mason Appleton<\/a> on injured reserve.<\/p>\n

Larkin, 30, has been nursing an upper-body injury suffered in offseason training. Earlier this morning, Larkin practiced<\/a> with Detroit\u2019s first line alongside Lucas Raymond<\/a> and Viktor Arvidsson<\/a>, indicating that he will be activated ahead of tonight\u2019s contest. After the drama stemming from his trade request this past offseason, Larkin\u2019s 2026-27 debut with Detroit will be one to watch.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Dries earns the call-up to the Red Wings, albeit under emergency conditions. Although Detroit moved Kasper and Appleton to the injured reserve, the team will also be without J.T. Compher<\/a> tonight, who is suffering from an undisclosed injury. Without Compher, the Red Wings dropped below having 12 healthy forwards on the roster.<\/p>\n

Dries, 32, entered the 2026-27 campaign similarly to last season. He\u2019s been a prominent scorer for AHL Grand Rapids since the 2024-25 campaign when he first joined the organization. He\u2019s gotten off to a strong start this year, scoring three goals and four points in the Griffins\u2019 first two games. Overall, Dries has registered 51 goals and 89 points in 124 games with Grand Rapids.<\/p>\n

Kasper is dealing with an upper-body injury after fighting New York Rangers defenseman Sean Durzi<\/a> in the first game of the season. Detroit has not issued a definitive timeline for Kasper\u2019s return, but this will be his second consecutive missed game. Assuming his injured reserve placement is retroactive to last Friday\u2019s contest, he\u2019ll be eligible to return this Friday against the Seattle Kraken.<\/p>\n

Lastly, Appleton\u2019s injury appears far more severe. Head coach Todd McLellan<\/a> announced<\/a> this morning that Appleton is considered week-to-week with an undisclosed injury. Unlike Kasper, Appleton has played in both of Detroit\u2019s contests to begin the season, going scoreless while averaging 9:51 of ice time per game.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Seeking their first win of the 2026-27 season, the Detroit Red Wings announced several roster moves ahead of…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":873908,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[66],"tags":[1786,80904,10156,1226,37961,368023,385,192818,99,6182],"class_list":["post-873907","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nhl","tag-detroit-red-wings","tag-dylan-larkin","tag-injury","tag-j-t-compher","tag-marco-kasper","tag-mason-appleton","tag-nhl","tag-sheldon-dries","tag-sports","tag-transactions"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/873907","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=873907"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/873907\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/873908"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=873907"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=873907"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=873907"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
