Larsson collected an assist in Saturday's 4-1 victory over the Wild.

EDGE Analysis

It has been a rough month for the Swedish defenseman -- he missed three games to attend his father's funeral and the assist was his first point since Feb. 24. Larsson only has nine points in 49 games in 2017-18, yet is worth consideration for those desperate in deep leagues for a blueliner given his first-line minutes (21:36 on average).

Larsson (personal) won't be in the lineup Monday, but will return to action versus the Islanders on Thursday, Jason Gregor of OilersNation.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Larsson attended Monday's game-day skate, per Bob Stauffer of the Oilers Radio Network, but is likely dealing with the effects of traveling back and forth from Sweden to attend his father's funeral. Ethan Bear should continue to fill in for Larsson on the blue line against the Coyotes on Monday.

Larsson will miss Thursday's game against the Predators, as well as the contest opposing the Rangers on Saturday, since he's returned to Sweden to attend his father's funeral.

EDGE Analysis

Ethan Bear has been called up from AHL Bakersfield while Larsson attends to this personal matter.

Larsson played in his 400th game Tuesday night against the Sharks, the Edmonton Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

Larsson is arguably the best blueliner in Edmonton and is used as such -- he is averaging 21:35 of ice time per contest. While rarely seen as an offensive threat (eight points in 47 games in 2017-18), the Swedish defenseman still holds value in deep leagues and daily formats given his ample opportunities and physical play (178 hits, 102 blocks this season).

Larsson collected an assist in Saturday's 4-3 victory over the Kings.

EDGE Analysis

Larsson hasn't shown any rust in the last five games after missing eight as the Oilers' No. 1 defenseman is back to his usual role (21:31 average time on ice). With eight points in 45 games in 2017-18, the 25-year-old blueliner remains worth owning in deep leagues and daily formats especially those that admire his enforcer role -- he also finished the contest with six hits and two blocks.

Larsson notched an assist in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Avalanche.

EDGE Analysis

Larsson missed eight games for personal reasons (his father passed away). He logged 18:56 in his return on Feb. 17 and the helper was the Swedish blueliner's seventh point in 42 games in 2017-18. Larsson remains a member of the Oilers' top defensive pairing yet can only be trusted in daily formats and deep leagues for now.

Larsson (personal) will rejoin the lineup Saturday against the Coyotes, Jack Michaels of the Oilers Radio Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Larsson returned to the team Saturday following the death of his father, but it was unclear whether or not he would dress after a 12-hour flight. It appears he will do so, slotting in alongside Darnell Nurse on the top pairing.

Clarifying a previous report, Larsson (personal) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Coyotes since he was on a 12-hour flight before joining the team in Arizona, NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

It appears that Larsson will be a game-time decision for the upcoming contest. He missed eight contests following the death of his father.

Larsson (personal) will return to the lineup Saturday versus the Coyotes, NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Larsson missed the last eight games following the death of his father. "Hockey is the best therapy for me right now," Larsson, said. "Being around the guys gets your mind off everything. I'm glad to be back."

Larsson practiced Friday for the first time in over two weeks since the passing of his father, Bob Stauffer of the Oilers Radio Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 25-year-old defenseman returned to Sweden to mourn his father's death, and he hasn't playing in a game since Jan. 23, which may have been the last time he skated at all. Therefore, it's unclear if he'll be ready to play Saturday in Arizona or Sunday in Colorado, since the Oilers will likely need to make sure he's fully back in shape.
