Detroit Red Wings’ Patrick Kane on his biggest fan (and critic)<\/p>\n

Detroit Red Wings’ Patrick Kane, Dec. 30, 2025 in Detroit.<\/p>\n

Dylan Larkin will be headed to Italy next month.<\/p>\n

His inclusion on the U.S. men’s hockey roster was a lock even before it was made official on Friday, Jan. 2, during NBC’s “Today” show. The\u00a02026 Olympic Winter Games will take place Feb. 6-22, 2026, in Milan and Cortina d’Ampezzo, Italy. The men’s tournament starts Feb. 11 in Milan.<\/p>\n

Larkin is the only Detroit Red Wings<\/a> player on the roster. Patrick Kane had hoped to earn a third shot at a gold medal, but injuries derailed the 37-year-old’s chances. Alex DeBrincat’s impressive performance \u2014 21 goals among 41 points in 42 games \u2014 wasn’t enough to get a nod.<\/p>\n

Larkin has 38 points for the Wings. He has represented the U.S. multiple times internationally, including the World Championships in 2015, ’16, ’17, ’18, and ’19, and last year’s 4 Nations Face-Off.<\/p>\n

The 2026 Winter Games mark the first time NHL players have participated in the Winter Games since 2014. Team USA, which is in Group C, will open against Latvia on Feb. 12, then play Denmark on Feb. 14 and Germany on Feb. 15. Wings defenseman Moritz Seider was already named to Germany’s team in June, and forward Lucas Raymond was picked by Sweden on Friday as well.<\/p>\n

Although Larkin is the only Red Wing on Team USA, the Mitten State has plenty of representation in the red, white and blue. Goalie Connor Hellebuyck, expected to start, hails from Commerce, while forwrd Kyle Connor is a Shelby Township native who attended Michigan. Likewise making it from the Wolverines<\/a> is defenseman Zach Werenski, who played in Ann Arbor with Larkin. There\u2019s also two of the three Hughes brothers, with defenseman Quinn, a Michigan alumnus, and forward Jack, who lived with his family in Michigan while playing for the U.S. National Team Development Program in Plymouth.<\/p>\n
