Larsson (lower body) was traded by the Coyotes to the Capitals on Monday in exchange for a 2023 third-round draft pick, Sportsnet's Chris Johnston reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 29-year-old has been remarkably consistent in his career thus far, finishing with somewhere between 11-17 points in seven consecutive seasons. Larsson actually has 15 points in just 29 games this year, so if he can get back on the ice sooner rather than later, he should easily set a new career high.

Larsson (lower body) underwent a sports hernia surgery Thursday, Arizona Coyotes Insider Craig Morgan reports.
EDGE Analysis
Larsson is expected to miss a minimum of eight weeks while recovering from the surgery. This would put him on track to return in early April, but the Coyotes' poor position in the standings suggests they won't rush the Swedish center back. Larsson has amassed 15 points in 29 games this season. Alex Galchenyuk and Travis Boyd will likely maintain top-six spots in the lineup.
