Larsson picked up an assist, two PIM and went plus-2 in Monday's win over the Sharks. Larsson finished the night second on the team in ice time (23:42), an encouraging trend for a defenseman who served primarily as a healthy scratch in the early stages of the season. Since returning from a bout with the mumps around Christmastime, Larsson has been an asset on both ends of the ice for the Devils. He's picked up assists in five of his last seven games, while providing respectable hit and block totals.
