Dylan Larkin out vs. Rangers with back problem; Mike Green done for season

Detroit – The Detroit Red Wings’ miserable season got even worse on Thursday.

Coach Jeff Blashill said after the morning skate that Dylan Larkin would miss Thursday night’s game against the New York Rangers because of lingering back issues.

Also, the Wings will shut down defenseman Mike Green for the season because of a relapse of a virus that hindered Green early this season.

The Red Wings enter Thursday night’s game with 56 points. Only one team has fewer (Senators, 52), and the Kings also have 56.

The Wings could end up with the worst record, enhancing their chances of landing the No.
