Larkin was having a career year this season with a 31-38-69 stat line through 71 games. It’s been clear for a while that he has been playing hurt, and to have a near point-per-game season while fighting through injury is impressive. Here’s to hoping for a speedy recovery for D Boss and a return to even greater form next season.
