Detroit Red Wings forward Dylan Larkin is back in the rumor mill, but the story around him this week stretches well beyond Montreal chatter.
An NHL video shared how Larkin met his wife, Kenzy Wolfe, and it started in the most modern way possible: through Instagram and a mutual friend. One of Kenzy’s friends, whose husband played hockey in Detroit, followed Larkin on Instagram, and Kenzy’s profile popped up in his suggestions.
Larkin saw her profile once, then lost it, before it resurfaced again. That was enough for him to take his shot and send her a direct message.
The couple began dating around 2017 in Michigan, when Larkin was still in the early stretch of his NHL career. Five years later, in 2022, he proposed on a dock overlooking a lake. Photos of that moment remain on their social media pages.
Larkin and Kenzy were married on August 6, 2023, in Clarkston, Michigan. They welcomed their daughter on May 19, 2025.
Now 30, Larkin has a contract that runs through 2031 and has posted three points in six games this season. At the same time, speculation around his future has continued in Montreal and beyond.
According to Renaud Lavoie, Larkin’s inner circle would need to be convinced before he would consider including the Canadiens among his preferred destinations. No additional details were provided, and there is no reason to single out anyone in particular.
Still, the off-ice story is what stands out most right now: a relationship that began with one direct message and grew into a marriage and a family.

Canadiens May Have Found A Late-Round Surprise In Laval
A seventh-round pick usually arrives with modest expectations, but Luke Mittelstadt is forcing the Canadiens to take a longer look. The 2023 selection, once viewed more as a steady defensive piece after a quiet NCAA scoring profile, has found an early groove in Laval and has become one of the biggest reasons the Rocket have opened the season so well.
Mittelstadts usage tells part of the story, with the 24-year-old handling a larger offensive load than anyone would have predicted when he was drafted. He has settled onto Lavals top defensive pairing and power play, and the production has followed, enough to spark real conversation about whether the Canadiens may have found more than organizational depth in a player who was supposed to be a long shot.

Kent Hughes May Still Have A Clever Canadiens Forward Move Left
The Canadiens were at least doing homework on Rickard Rakell as part of a bigger October trade concept, and that alone says a lot about how Kent Hughes is still scanning for ways to sharpen Montreals forward mix. Elliotte Friedman reported the club explored Rakell in the framework of a move that was meant to help land Kirill Marchenko for Columbus, a reminder that the Canadiens are not just watching the market but trying to shape it.
Rakell still carries a $5 million cap hit, and his slow start has only added to the intrigue around what kind of return Pittsburgh might eventually consider. For Montreal, the appeal is obvious enough: if Hughes decides the fit still makes sense, Rakell could give the second line a different look even with the original deal structure gone, leaving open the possibility of a separate swing later on.

Blue Jackets Back In A Trade Talk Tied To Marchenko Void
The Penguins may be edging toward another reshuffle of their forward group, and Rickard Rakell is again a name to watch as the club weighs veteran trade possibilities in favor of younger players. Rakell was already part of earlier discussions with Columbus that never got across the finish line, and his slow start this season has only made the conversation more complicated from Pittsburghs side.
For teams watching from the outside, the appeal is obvious enough: a proven scorer who could still help if the right deal materializes. But there are also real hurdles in the background, including a no-trade clause that gives him some control over where this story can go next, which means any renewed movement will depend on more than just Pittsburghs desire to open a spot.
