Valeri Nichushkin's goal and assist led Columbus to a 4:2 pre-season win at Detroit, who remain without a captain after stripping Dylan Larkin.
Detroit forward Dylan Larkin is back at camp after an upper-body injury, months after his June trade request and the loss of the captaincy, and may stay all season.
Toronto analyst Sid Seixeiro called Detroit captain Dylan Larkin's refusal to discuss his trade request with the media cowardice and childishness.
The 30-year-old forward, stripped of Detroit's captaincy, says he may never reveal why he asked for a trade and denies reports naming Vegas, Florida, Minnesota and Dallas.
Detroit forward Dylan Larkin, recently stripped of the captaincy, will rehab an upper-body injury with the team, GM Sean Horcoff says, hoping for a pre-season return.
Larkin will attend Detroit's training camp despite requesting a trade in June; the club opened talks on captaincy and his future only once new hockey operations leadership is named.
Red Wings forward Alex DeBrincat says the team's view of captain Dylan Larkin hasn't changed after his trade request, adding the decision is now Larkin's to make.
