Dallas — The Red Wings lost a game, and Dylan Larkin, Tuesday in Dallas.
The Wings lost 5-2, their third loss in four games and second consecutive to open this four-game road trip.
But they also lost Larkin in between the second and third periods for COVID-19 protocol reasons.
Larkin, whose second period power-play goal cut Dallas' lead to 3-2, was tested earlier in the day.
"He was removed from the game for COVID protocol," coach Jeff Blashill said. "Other than that, that's all I can say."
Larkin was going to remain in Dallas and quarantine, while the Wings headed to Las Vegas.
