Larsson scored a goal, added an assist, doled out two hits and went plus-2 in Monday's 5-2 win over the Canadiens.
EDGE Analysis
Larsson tallied in the first period and also helped out on a Nick Schmaltz goal in the second. It's been a solid January for Larsson, who has five goals and an assist in his last seven contests. The Swede is up to 14 points in 25 contests, matching his output from 52 appearances last season. He's on track to reach the 20-point mark for the first time in his 10-year career.

Larsson scored a goal, blocked two shots and added two PIM in Friday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Avalanche.
EDGE Analysis
Larsson pulled the Coyotes even with the Avalanche at 2-2 with his second-period tally. The 29-year-old has seven points in his last seven games, though he had a hat trick and a three-assist game to go with four pointless efforts in that span. The Swede is up to four goals, eight assists, 23 shots on net, 28 PIM, 43 hits and a minus-2 rating through 23 contests. His skill as a defensive center will likely keep him in a top-six role, though he's also on pace for a career-best year on offense.

Larsson recorded a hat trick and two PIM in Thursday's 6-4 win over the Blackhawks.
EDGE Analysis
Larsson tallied at even strength in the first period, then added a power-play goal and an empty-netter in the third to complete his first hat trick. Impressively, those were his first three goals of the season. The Swede has three goals and three assists in his last three games, though that's a rather unusual run of success for him. Larsson is a defensive-minded forward, but playing in a top-six role for the Coyotes could help his scoring numbers. He's at 11 points, 18 shots on net, 39 hits, 22 PIM and a minus-1 rating through 20 appearances.

Larsson racked up three assists -- one on the power play -- in Tuesday's 8-7 shootout loss to San Jose.
EDGE Analysis
Arizona's offense ranks last in goals per game, but the Coyotes were firing on all cylinders offensively in this one. Unfortunately for Larsson, the Sharks were able to match that productivity. The career bottom-six forward is getting an opportunity to play up the lineup due to the Coyotes' lack of talent down the middle, but Larsson's still searching for his first goal of the season. He has eight assists in 18 games.

Larsson (lower body) will be activated from injured reserve to rejoin the lineup Friday versus the Ducks, Arizona Coyotes Insider Craig Morgan reports.
EDGE Analysis
Larsson will end up missing five games with the injury. His return comes at a good time, as Christian Fischer (upper body) exited Wednesday's contest versus the Rangers. Larsson may be eased back into action in a bottom-six role at first, but as one of the more defensive forwards on the the roster, he'll likely log big minutes once he's back up to speed.

Larsson (lower body) was placed on injured reserve Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Larsson will miss his third straight game Friday and is expecting to miss roughly another week, so this move won't affect his timeline to return. The 29-year-old has five assists while averaging 17:27 of ice time through 16 games this season.

Larsson (lower body) is expected to be sidelined for another 10-14 days, Arizona Coyotes Insider Craig Morgan reports.
EDGE Analysis
Larsson has been limited to just one appearance in the team's last nine contests due to a lower-body injury and being in the league's COVID-19 protocols. In 16 games this year, the 29-year-old center has yet to score a goal, which shouldn't come as a surprise considering he has just 12 shots on goal.

Larsson's (lower body) MRI results were inconclusive, so there's no concrete timetable for his return to the lineup, Arizona Coyotes Insider Craig Morgane reports.
EDGE Analysis
Larsson should be considered out indefinitely with his lower-body issue. With Larsson on the shelf, look for Alex Galchenyuk to draw into the lineup for Friday's game versus Vegas.
