This is not a good sign for the team, as it likely means defenseman Adam Larsson’s injury is more serious than previously thought. He could be out much longer than previously expected.
Larsson missed Saturday’s win Calgary Flames with a lower-body injury. He had one of his best games of the season in Edmonton’s Thursday win over the New Jersey Devils. With Larsson out of the lineup, the team will have to cope without one of their top right-handed blueliners.
The Swedish defenseman is a plus-1 and has two goals and eight points in 44 games this season.
