Larsson (lower body) was on the ice with the Oilers for Saturday's practice, Bob Stauffer of 630 CHED reports.

EDGE Analysis

After missing two consecutive games, the Swedish defenseman was skating with the Oilers on Saturday. This should bode well with Larsson's fantasy owners, as his next opportunity to play is Sunday in Nashville. The first-round pick rarely lights up the stat sheet, but over eight February games he has recorded 25 hits and 16 blocked shots. If your league values true defensemen, Larsson's return is one to keep an eye on.

Larsson (lower body) will miss Thursday's road contest versus the Capitals, Tom Gulitti of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

This is will be the second consecutive absence for the two-way defenseman, who added that he hopes to return for Sunday's game when the Oilers visit Nashville to take on the Predators. Subjected to a curious offseason trade that saw stud forward Taylor Hall wind up in New Jersey, Larsson is on pace to approach the 20-point mark having already matched his shots output of 65 from last season in 23 fewer games.

Larsson will not suit up for Wednesday's away game against the Panthers due to a lower-body injury.

EDGE Analysis

It's unclear how exactly Larsson sustained this injury, but he'll miss just his second game of the season and his first since Jan. 14. Eric Gryba will likely draw into the lineup Wednesday, while either Matt Benning or Kris Russell are good bets to join Oscar Klefbom on the top defensive pairing.

Larsson posted an assist, plus-1 rating, two blocked shots and two hits in Friday's 2-1 loss against the Hurricanes.

EDGE Analysis

Larsson isn't much of an offensive threat, as he has just three goals and 14 points. However, he is helpful in the plus-minus category, and he is a great source of hits (162) and blocked shots (93).

Larsson fired five pucks on net and recorded his first goal since Nov. 25 in Tuesday's loss to the Wild.

EDGE Analysis

Though he's not an offensive dynamo, 28 games without a goal is a long stretch for a defenseman who eats up as many minutes as Larsson does. He's now got three on the season, tying a career-high mark that he's hit twice before. It seems likely he sets a new career-high this year, but that's relative. He's not going to provide you with much offense.

Larsson picked up three assists in Saturday's win over the Flames.

EDGE Analysis

Larsson isn't known for being a big offensive contributor, but he's now picked up six assists in his last seven games. The former Devil logs heavy minutes, but doesn't play on the power play and has just 12 points on the season. It's unlikely this pace of production continues for much longer, but if this recent stretch and 30 PIM have you sold, he could be worth a quick add while he's hot.

Larsson (lower body) will return to the ice Monday against the Coyotes.

EDGE Analysis

Larsson sat out Saturday's game against the rival Flames but appears to over whatever was ailing him. The rearguard only has eight points in 44 games and has averaged just 13 seconds per game on the power play, so his return isn't likely to make much of an offensive impact.

Larsson (lower body) will be a game-time decision for Monday's tilt with Arizona.

EDGE Analysis

The 24-year-old has been quite bad this year, with only eight points in 44 games. However, two of those measly eight have come in the last three games, so perhaps he has broken his scoring drought.

Larsson will miss Saturday's game against the Flames, as he's dealing with a lower-body injury.

EDGE Analysis

This is music to the ears of the Flames faithful. Larsson is a terrific shot-blocker, already redirected 76 shots in 44 games, plus he's packed on 130 hits in that span. Eric Gryba has similar talents, though, and he figures to be the one to take Larsson's place in the lineup -- at least for the next contest.

Larsson scored a first-period goal with three shots on goal and two hits over 21:14 of ice time during Friday's loss to Arizona.

EDGE Analysis

Larsson hasn't done much offensively for Edmonton with just two goals and five points, and he's barely receiving a sniff of power-play time. He's best left to the waiver wire in the majority of seasonal leagues.
