Adam Larsson (back) practiced on Thursday. He was paired with Bryce Salvador in the session, which indicates that he might be ready to return on Friday. "It was great (today)," Larsson said. "I'm ready to go. It was just my lower back. It was frustrating. I couldn't move. I was at home. It was boring. ... I have no idea (if he'll back on Friday vs. Vancouver). It's up to the coaches. If I could play it would be great. I want to get back to game shape." Larsson hasn't played since Feb. 2 because of a bruised lower back.
