The Detroit Red Wings named forward Dylan Larkin captain, the team announced Wednesday. The 24-year-old is the 37th player to wear the "C" in franchise history.

Larkin is the team's first captain since Henrik Zetterberg, who was leader of the team from 2012-18. He's the team's fourth captain in the past 34 years, joining Zetterberg, Steve Yzerman, and Nicklas Lidstrom.

The Michigan native was selected with the 15th pick in the 2014 draft and has been the face of the franchise through the club's rebuild. He was selected to the All-Star Game in his rookie season, becoming the first Red Wing to accomplish the feat since Yzerman in 1984.

Set to enter his sixth season in the NHL, Larkin has served as an alternate captain the past two seasons. He's amassed 107 goals and 159 assists in 389 games so far in his career and has led the Red Wings in scoring the past three seasons.

Four NHL teams now remain without a captain: the New Jersey Devils, New York Rangers, Ottawa Senators, and Vegas Golden Knights.
