Larsson was placed on unconditional waivers Tuesday for the purpose of terminating his contract, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.
Larsson has appeared in just nine games for AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton, posting a 3-2-1 record, .876 save percentage and 3.51 GAA. The backstop was set to hit unrestricted free agency this offseason anyway, so this will free up a contract spot for the Penguins. Larsson was, at best, third on the AHL depth chart behind Sergei Murashov and Joel Blomqvist, so this move makes plenty of sense for both sides.

Given how far away Larsson is from the NHL, he figures to be a non-factor in fantasy contests.

Larsson was loaned to AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Saturday.
Larsson earned a 19-9-0 record with a 1.93 GAA and a .920 save percentage across 28 appearances for Leksands IF of the SHL during the 2023-24 regular season. He will probably spend most, if not all, of the 2024-25 campaign in the minors.
