Larkin replaces Miller in North American lineup

Dylan Larkin is set to make his World Cup pre-tournament debut against Europe on Sunday.

The dynamic young center will suit up in the absence of J.T. Miller, who appeared to injure his hand in the first exhibition game, but insists he's fully healthy and ready to go.

Larkin, who scored two goals and added seven assists in 10 games for USA at the World Championships, will look to make the most of the ice time afforded to him by head coach Todd McLellan.

Larkin is coming off a rookie season with the Detroit Red Wings in which he recorded 23 goals and 45 points.

Colton Parayko will also play on the blue line while Jacob Trouba will get the night off.
