Following an empty weekend in Chicago, Detroit Red Wings captain Dylan Larkin sounded the alarm.

The Wings split their first four games at home but were soundly defeated 4-1 on Friday and 6-2 on Sunday by the Blackhawks. Larkin wants to see a sense of urgency from his teammates when Detroit begins a two-game set with the Stars on Tuesday night in Dallas.

"We had an opportunity here against a team we thought we could beat twice and we didn't show up," Larkin said. "We have to turn (it) around before we get to Dallas or else it's going to snowball on us. They're a good team waiting for us down there and we need to figure it out fast."
