Larsson picked up his second goal of the year during Tuesday's win over the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
Larsson tallied the equalizing goal in the third period, helping his Sabres overcome a 3-1 deficit to win in overtime. The goal snapped an eight game drought, and brings him up to four points in 25 games. At this rate, it's looking unlikely that he'll surpass last year's total of 17 points.

Larsson lit the lamp for the first time this year during Wednesday's win over Philadelphia.
EDGE Analysis
It took 16 games, but he finally broke through with a goal, and snapped a seven game point drought in the process. He's playing on the fourth line, where he has just three points on the year. Despite the goal, he isn't a reliable source for any category at the moment. Not only is his scoring down, but he's also hitting less. He has 15 hits in 16 games so far, after posting 117 hits in 80 games last season.

Larsson is still searching for his first goal of the campaign.
EDGE Analysis
Larsson isn't expected to light the lamp much, but as someone who posted 10 goals back in 2015-16, it would appear he has more to give offensively. He started the year on Buffalo's third line, but has since been shifted down to the fourth. Don't expect much production from him for the time being, as his biggest asset comes in the form of killing penalties.

Larsson (foot) will make his season debut versus the Avalanche on Thursday, Paul Hamilton of WGR Sports Radio 550 reports.
EDGE Analysis
Larsson, who will bump Remi Elie from the lineup, has "worked his way back into the lineup," according to Sabres coach Phil Housley, who adds that he's looking for offensive contributions from the Swedish forward. All signs point to Larsson showing up on the third line, flanking prize rookie Casey Mittelstadt and lining up opposite Blues offseason castoff Tage Thompson.

Larsson (foot) will miss Monday's clash with Vegas, Mike Harrington of The Buffalo News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Larsson has started practicing with the team -- which is no doubt a step in the right direction -- but Monday's matchup comes too soon for the center to slot into the lineup. Remi Elie figures to be the odd man out once Larsson is cleared to return -- perhaps as soon as Thursday's tilt against Colorado. The Sabres will need to active him off injured reserve and make a corresponding move in order to make space for Larsson on the 23-man roster.

Larsson (foot) took part in practice Sunday. His game status for Monday against Vegas has yet to be determined.
EDGE Analysis
Larsson was injured blocking a shot in preseason and was placed on injured reserve to start the season. He is eligible to return for Monday's game, but there hasn't been a decision made yet. In practice, the 26-year-old rotated in with the second line that features Kyle Okposo, Jeff Skinner and Patrik Berglund.

Larsson (foot) isn't in the projected lineup against the Rangers, according to NHL.com's Heather Engel.
EDGE Analysis
Larsson remains on injured reserve, per the official NHL media site, and there's been nothing to suggest that the club is on the verge of activating him. Either way, we're talking about a player who has recorded only 65 points (26 goals, 39 assists) over 258 career contests, so it's not like he was an irresistible fantasy commodity to begin with.

The Sabres placed Larsson (foot) on injured reserve Tuesday, Mike Harrington of The Buffalo News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Larsson is still considered day-to-day, so although he doesn't appear to be on track to play Thursday against the Bruins, he could presumably be ready to return to action as soon as Saturday against the Rangers. Either way, he only totaled four goals and 17 points in 80 games last season, and isn't worth consideration in most fantasy formats.

Larsson (foot) was labeled day-to-day by coach Phil Housley, Mike Harrington of The Buffalo News reports.
EDGE Analysis
After getting hurt in Wednesday's matchup with Pittsburgh, Larsson was not on the ice for Thursday's practice session. Housley labeled the center's ailment as minor, so it shouldn't impact his availability for Opening Night versus the Bruins on Oct. 4 -- although he could miss Friday's preseason finale against the Islanders.

Larsson sustained a foot injury in Wednesday's 5-1 preseason loss to the Penguins, Mike Harrington of The Buffalo News reports.
EDGE Analysis
This injury reportedly stems from the Swedish forward getting in the way of a shot late in the first period. Larsson only logged 6:57 of ice time, leaving the game hobbled after taking one shift in the second frame. He should be considered day-to-day for now.
