Larsson (undisclosed) will not take part in Friday's game against the Bruins, Bill Hoppe of the Olean Times Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

Larsson's absence Friday shouldn't have a large overall impact in the fantasy realm given his 12 points through the first 33 contests. Curtis Lazar will draw into the lineup in his place, while Larsson will focus on Sunday's rematch with the Bruins for his next chance to return.

Larsson (undisclosed) will be a game-time call versus Boston on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Larsson has missed Buffalo's prior two outings due to his undisclosed problem. If he isn't able to play Friday, the center would seem to be a near-lock to return for Sunday's reverse clash with the Bruins. Larsson's potential return would allow the Sabres to return to a more traditional 12 forward, six defensemen lineup.

Larsson (undisclosed) will miss the Sabres' next two contests.

EDGE Analysis

Larsson's absence will test the Sabres' depth up front, but it won't impact many fantasy lineups, as he's only picked up 12 points 33 games while skating in a middle-six role this campaign. The 28-year-old Swede will hope to heal up in time for next Friday's matchup with Boston.

Larsson (undisclosed) will not return to Thursday's game against the Flyers after leaving the ice in the second period.

EDGE Analysis

Larsson doubled over after a hit, and while the specifics of the injury have not been disclosed, his status for the rest of the game has. Thursday is turning into a disaster for the Sabres, who started the game without captain Jack Eichel, ended up down 6-0 after two periods, and have now lost a couple of other players due to injury.

Larsson finished Tuesday's 5-2 win over St. Louis with a goal and an assist.

EDGE Analysis

In his last five games, Larsson has posted two or more points three different times. Eight of his 12 points this season have come over that span. It's unlikely Larsson keeps up this rate of production, but his owners should enjoy it for the time being. Buffalo goes on the road to face the Islanders on Saturday and Larsson will be looking to keep things rolling. He was held without a point in the two teams' meeting earlier in the year.

Larsson scored a goal on his lone shot and was plus-2 with two hits in Sunday's 3-2 overtime win over the Oilers.

EDGE Analysis

Larsson had just four points through the first two months of the season, but something has clicked for him since the calendar turned to December. The 27-year-old has produced a goal and five assists in that stretch with a plus-5 rating. On the flip side, he's only mustered a grand total of three shots in this four-game run.

Larsson recorded two assists, adding a season-high seven hits and a plus-2 rating, in Saturday's 6-5 overtime loss to the Canucks.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran center found himself on the second line at times with Marcus Johansson and Jeff Skinner, and Larsson responded with his second multi-point performance in the last three games. He has only two goals and nine points on the year, but six of those helpers have come in the last five games -- if he can hang onto a top-six assignment, Larsson could become a viable fantasy play in deeper formats despite his lack of power-play time.

Larsson registered three assists, all in the opening period, in a 7-1 win over New Jersey on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Larsson figured in on Buffalo's second, third and fourth goals of the game as the Sabres erupted for a 5-0 first-period lead. It was just the second three-point performance of Larsson's career and his first since March 11, 2015. The 27-year-old has four points over his last three games after totaling three points in his first 22.

Larsson (upper body) will return to the lineup for Thursday's game against Boston.

EDGE Analysis

Larsson has missed Buffalo's last three games due to an upper-body injury, but he'll return to a bottom-six role against the Bruins, centering Zemgus Girgensons and Curtis Lazar on the Sabres' third line. The 27-year-old Swede has only totaled three points in 18 games this campaign, so he can be ignored in all fantasy formats.

Larsson (upper body) will miss Tuesday's matchup with Minnesota, Paul Hamilton of WGR Sports Radio 550 reports.

EDGE Analysis

Larsson's continued absence, along with a bevy of other forwards, will likely force the Sabres into dressing seven defensemen against the Wild. Prior to getting hurt, Larsson managed a mere one point in his last nine appearances. Given his limited offensive upside, the Swede figures to remain a low-end fantasy option.
