Traverse City — Dylan Larkin could have taken a few days off and relaxed.
Larkin had just finished competing in the World Cup of Hockey and coach Jeff Blashill intended on giving all the players who competed in the tournament five days off to rest.
Larkin, at the tender age of 20 and feeling he wasn’t overworked on Team North America, wouldn’t have any of it.
Larkin was already on the ice Saturday, having arrived in Traverse City the day before, and was feeling good about it.
“I wanted to be in Traverse City, wanted to come up here,” Larkin said.
