Dylan Larkin still can’t swing a golf club, but at least he’s been able to shed the neck brace and drive his car.
His season ended with a literal pain in the neck, suffered when Dallas Stars forward Jamie Benn pushed his stick into Larkin’s spine after a faceoff late in the April 20th game. Larkin said he spent a couple days in the hospital, could barely walk when he was released and needed a chauffeur for several weeks. It was a lousy end to a frustrating season for the first-year captain.
“I was upset when it happened, I was pretty hurt,” Larkin said Wednesday.
