Detroit Red Wings captain Dylan Larkin and former Ottawa Senators winger Alex DeBrincat will skate in a star-studded charity hockey game to support Senators assistant coach Bob Jones, who was diagnosed with ALS during the 2022-23 NHL season.
Larkin and DeBrincat are now teammates after DeBrincat was traded to Detroit and signed a four-year, $31.5-million contact in July. They'll be joined by Red Wings forwards Andrew Copp, Robby Fabbri and Michael Rasmussen and defenseman Jake Walman in a fundraising game for ALS research at the WFCU Centre in Windsor on Saturday, Aug. 12 at 2 p.m.
