“This week my wife and I said goodbye to our baby. It’s hard to find words or positivity in this, but we greatly appreciate your support and understanding, and thank you for respecting our privacy.”

Larkin has missed the team’s last two games. It’s unclear when he’ll return to the lineup.

Larkin, 27, is a Metro Detroit native drafted by the Red Wings in 2014. He and his wife Kenzy announced their marriage earlier this year.
