Red Wings captain Dylan Larkin manages to avoid serious injury

Well, Red Wings fans had better thank their lucky stars that this wasn't worse than it was.

Detroit Red Wings captain Dylan Larkin was shaken up and had to be helped off of the ice after he fell awkwardly to the ice after taking a defensive zone face-off against Brady Tkachuk: 

Larkin would make his way to the dressing room with the assistance of trainer Piet Van Zandt, though it wouldn't be long before he would be back on the bench and back in the game. 

Thank goodness that it wasn't a serious injury for the Red Wings captain!
