With help from his teammates, Larkin returned to the locker room and did not return to the game.
Apparently, this caused a reaction from the Red Wings players: in defense of his captain, David Perron delivered a double check to the head of Senators defender Artem Zub. The Quebecer was excluded from the meeting.
Perron could receive a suspension of more than five games because he is not entitled to a telephone hearing; Instead, he was personally summoned by the National Hockey League's security department.
