Moritz Seider urged the Red Wings to move forward after captain Dylan Larkin said he would no longer play for Detroit and was suspended without pay as the team considers trade offers. Seider said he hopes Larkin finds happiness elsewhere, while expressing confidence in the group still in Detroit.

By the Numbers
  • Detroit beat Chicago 4-1.
  • Viktor Arvidsson scored a hat trick.
  • The Red Wings improved to 6-4-3.
Yes, But

Seider acknowledged the split is difficult because Larkin is both a former teammate and a friend. Still, he said the team must focus on the players who remain and prepare any incoming players to join the group.

State of Play
  • Larkin is awaiting a trade after telling Detroit he will no longer play for the team.
  • Interim general manager Shawn Horcoff said the team is weighing offers.
  • Seider is viewed as a likely successor to Larkin as captain.
Bottom Line

Detroit’s win offered an immediate reminder that the team has to keep competing while it resolves Larkin’s departure—and Seider is already framing the next chapter around the players who remain.
