Adam Larsson will be out of the lineup Saturday with a lower-body injury. Winger and call-up Jujhar Khaira will also miss the action with an illness. Head coach Todd McLellan announced the news Saturday.
It is unknown whether or not Larsson’s injury occurred in the team’s 3-2 OT win over the Devils Thursday. It was in that same game that he had one of his best performances of the season. Not only did he pick up a primary assist, but he was moving the puck and quick on the backcheck.
Larsson has been an asset for the Oilers this season, proving to be a reliable right-handed defenseman who looks after the puck.
