Larsson inked a two-year, $2.8 million contract with Arizona on Saturday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.
EDGE Analysis
In seven NHL seasons, Larsson has never reached the 20-point mark and is unlikely to do so in Arizona. The 27-year-old center should slot into a bottom-six role and projects to offer low-end fantasy value at best.

With the Sabres being one of seven NHL teams that won't be part of the playoffs, Larsson has played his last game of 2019-20 and will soon become an unrestricted free agent, Lance Lysowski of The Buffalo News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Lysowski surmises that GM Jason Botterill will want to retain Larsson, as the forward won't be expensive and he's always capably filled a bottom-line, penalty-killing role with they Sabres. Quietly, he's one of the team's longest tenured players after being acquired from the Wild in 2013. He reached his career high in points this season with 18 as well as a plus-8 rating, but there's not much to see here from a fantasy perspective.

Larsson notched an assist and a plus-1 rating in Tuesday's 3-1 loss to the Jets.
EDGE Analysis
Larsson notched a secondary helper on Rasmus Ristolainen's third-period goal, but it didn't spark a comeback for the Sabres, who lost their fourth straight contest. The 27-year-old Larsson now has a career-high 18 points this season, and he fits in well in a fourth-line role, posting a 50.7 Corsi For percentage this year.

Larsson (undisclosed) will play in Tuesday's game versus the Senators, Lance Lysowski of The Buffalo News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Originally deemed a game-time decision after taking a maintenance day Monday, Larsson is ready to center the fourth line. He's coming off a two-point outing against the Maple Leafs, but his fantasy dependability is low with just 15 points through 52 games.

Larsson, who took a maintenance day Monday, will take part in warmups ahead of Tuesday's matchup with Ottawa in order to determine if he can play, Lance Lysowski of The Buffalo News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Larsson continues to be a streaky player for the Sabres, as he's racked up three points in his last four games, which was preceded by a 19-game pointless streak. Fantasy owners may want to try to hit while the iron is hot, assuming he plays, especially given the matchup with a struggling Senators squad.

Larsson scored a goal and dished an assist in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Maple Leafs.
EDGE Analysis
Larsson opened the scoring at 1:32 of the second period, and he later helped out on Kyle Okposo's tally in the third. The Swede is up to 15 points, 49 shots and 74 hits through 52 contests this season, just two points shy of his career high.

Larsson (lower body) is expected to return to the lineup Thursday against Detroit, Lance Lysowski of The Buffalo News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Larsson missed Tuesday's loss to Colorado due to a lower-body injury, but whatever held him out of that contest clearly wasn't overly serious. The 27-year-old, who's picked up 12 points in 46 games this campaign, will return to a bottom-six role against the Red Wings.

Larsson (lower body) won't be in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Avalanche.
EDGE Analysis
With Larsson day-to-day with a lower-body injury, the Sabres have recalled Rasmus Asplund to fill in against Colorado. The middle-six pivot will hope to heal up in time for Thursday's matchup with Detroit.

Larsson has been held off the scoresheet for 17 straight games.
EDGE Analysis
Larsson had gone on quite the tear -- racking up eight points in five contests. That was 17 games ago, and he hasn't been able to find the scoresheet since. He has four goals and eight assists in 46 outings. Don't expect him to go on a hot streak anytime soon.

Larsson (undisclosed) is expected to be in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Bruins, Mike Harrington of The Buffalo News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Larsson has missed the last three games due to the undisclosed issue, but he will be a welcomed addition to the lineup, especially considering Jeff Skinner (upper body) is expected to be sidelined 3-to-4 weeks. Larsson is expected to man the middle on the second line alongside Sam Reinhart and Marcus Johansson on Sunday.
