Devils coach Pete DeBoer said rookie D Adam Larsson (bruised lower back) is "feeling better", but hasn't skated yet and won't play Tuesday.

Sounds like Larsson is progressing but will miss a few more games. The rookie has been a bright point in an average season for the Devils, scoring two goals and 16 points through 47 games.

Adam Larsson had X-rays and MRI on his back and both came back negative, but he won't play tomorrow in Philadelphia, Devils say.

Larsson suffered what the Devils are calling a bruised lower back on an open-ice hit from P.K. Subban of the Montreal Canadiens.

No word on the extent of Larsson's injury. The rookie has been a bright point in an average season for the Devils, scoring two goals and 16 points through 47 games.

Adam Larsson
Adam Larsson has been bothered by a sore wrist and asked not to go to All-Star weekend. So he will not go.

Larsson has been playing big minutes for the Devils and is banged up because of it. The rookie has two goals and 15 points in his first 43 NHL games. Expect him to stay in the lineup after the break.

Adam Larsson
It’s been pretty clear since the start of the season that the Devils intend to keep Adam Larsson around, but general manager Lou Lamoriello confirmed the obvious today by saying that the 18-year-old defenseman will stay with the team for at least 10 NHL ganes.

In case you had an doubt, Larssen is in the lineup to stay. Feel free to play him on a nightly basis as long as he remains a top pairing defender who also plays the point on the PP.
