Dylan Larkin's future in Detroit is up in the air, but ahead of a critical off-season, he's announced some amazing news off the ice.

The 2024/25 season didn't go the way that the Detroit Red Wings would have hoped, and after the season, captain Dylan Larkin called out the team for not making an impact move at the deadline, not allowing the team to go on a run to the Stanley Cup Playoffs.

That's led to some speculation that the future of their captain may lay beyond Detroit, but ahead of what could be a very interesting off-season, the young forward has got some fantastic personal news.

According to an announcement from the Red Wings social media, Larkin and his partner have been lucky enough to welcome into the world a beautiful baby girl, Lennyn Marie Larkin.

This news is made even more special for the couple when remembering that two years ago, they lost their unborn baby in absolutely tragic circumstances, so thankfully this off-season started much better for two beloved people in the city of Detroit and the Red Wings organization.

On and off the ice, Larkin is one of the most respected players in the NHL, and upon the announcement, the two received plenty of congratulations and well wishes from around the league.

This is a massive moment in the life of Larkin, who has already achieved so much at such a young age, and now, he'll look to lead the Red Wings back to the Stanley Cup Playoffs for not only himself and his team, but for his growing family as well.
