Jacob Larsson News

Larsson had two goals, two assists, 14 PIMs and a -6 plus/minus in 18 games with the Belleville Senators (AHL) but has earned his first NHL call up of the season Wednesday. The 26-year-old stay-at-home defensemen returns to the NHL for his seventh career season and will hope to add to the three goals and 14 points he has amassed over 172 career games played.

Larsson has been returned to the Belleville Senators of the AHL, where he has two points (2G / 0A) in 10 games, after being called up to join Ottawa during the NHL Global Series in Sweden.

Larsson spent most of 2023 in the AHL, where he had 17 points (4G / 13A) in 55 games with Belleville. During his time with Ottawa, he was held pointless with four shots and seven hits in seven games. It sounds like the Senators couldn't get Travis Hamonic re-signed, so they re-signed Larsson to maintain the blueline depth.

With the recent addition of Jakob Chychrun, Jacob Larsson finds himself the odd man out of the Senators' roster and will head back to Belleville (AHL) after failing to pick up a point through seven games with Ottawa. The 25-year-old defenseman returns to the minors, where he had two goals, 10 points and 24 PIMs across 37 games played prior to his promotion.

Larsson last suited up for the Senators on November 21st but will find himself back in their lineup Tuesday as they take on the New York Islanders. Through his three games played this season, he has yet to pick up a point but has four PIMs and is a -1 plus/minus.

Larsson has two goals, seven assists, 16 PIMs and a -11 plus/minus through 33 games with the Belleville Senators (AHL) but has been recalled to Ottawa on Friday. He has previously played in three games and failed to pick up a point.

Larsson has been recalled from Belleville (AHL) for the second time this season after failing to pick up a point in his first three-game showing with the Senators earlier this season but getting four PIMs. Larsson had five assists, 14 PIMs and a -13 plus/minus in 24 games with Belleville (AHL) prior to his promotion.

Larsson is a former first-round pick (No.27 overall in 2015) who has 165 career NHL games under his belt, all with the Anaheim Ducks. However, he spent almost all of 2021-22 in the AHL, where he had two goals and 13 assists (15 points) in 55 games. The Senators' blueline is very thin, so Larsson could see some NHL playing time in 2022-23.

Larsson was one of four Ducks' players that was added to the COVID-19 protocol list on Tuesday, putting Wednesday's game in jeopardy. Larsson was a healthy scratch on Monday, so expect him to sit out for a second straight game on Wednesday.

Larsson suffered an upper-body injury in Philadelphia on Tuesday and missed Wednesday's game in New Jersey. Larsson was recently recalled but is day-to-day, which makes him questionable for their Saturday/Sunday back-to-back in New York.

Larsson was sent back to the AHL in late-November and has just three points (1G / 2A) in 25 games with the Ducks this season. The 22-year-old defensemen picked up two points (1G / 1A) in five AHL games during his demotion.

Larsson was a healthy scratch in St. Louis on Saturday but is expected to replace Josh Mahura on Monday. Larsson isn't known for his offensive ability, having scored just one goal and one assist in 19 games this season.

Larsson has appeared in all 14 games so far this season, collecting just one assist while playing 17:19 ATOI. With Hampus Lindholm healthy, Larsson will come out and Josh Mahura will stay in.
