Steve Yzerman: Detroit Red Wings will have captain in 2021 season
The Detroit Red Wings haven’t decided how to give the occasion the recognition it deserves, but the plan is to have a captain again for the first time in nearly three years.
General manager Steve Yzerman, whose own naming to the captaincy was done at a news conference, wants somebody think Dylan Larkin to wear the C during the pandemic-shortened 56-game season. The Wings have relied exclusively on alternate captains since Henrik Zetterberg retired in September 2018.
“We haven’t figured out how roll that out, but our plan hasn’t changed,” Yzerman said.
