Sabres' Johan Larsson: Pointless in 10 straight

With just 10 points through 61 games, Larsson holds little fantasy value in 2018-19. Since Jan. 1, the fourth-liner has scored one goal and tallied three assists in 27 games. We recommend looking elsewhere to fill out your fantasy rosters.

Sabres' Johan Larsson: Tallies insurance marker

Larsson picked up his first goal of 2019, leaving him with five goals and nine points on the campaign. He's been earning more ice time as of late, playing over 17 minutes in two of his last three contests. He could be in line for a slight uptick in production for the second half of the season should he continue to receive these opportunities. That said, he'll typically be stuck on a bottom line.

Sabres' Johan Larsson: Will play against Canes

Larsson missed the Sabres' last two contests due to his upper-body issue, but wil slot back into the lineup, likely as the fourth-line center. Considering the 26-year-old has only eight points in 44 games this season, fantasy owners probably will want to look elsewhere for depth scoring options. Tage Thompson will be the odd man out with Larsson back to 100 percent.

Sabres' Johan Larsson: Out against Minnesota

Larsson will miss a second consecutive contest with an upper-body injury. With only eight points in 44 appearances, the 26-year-old's absence likely won't be felt by too many in the fantasy hockey community. Only in the deepest of leagues should Larsson be relevant, as he's never once exceeded 17 points in a single season.

Sabres' Johan Larsson: Game-time call for Tuesday

Larsson's availability (or lack thereof) should be confirmed when the Sabres go through their pregame warmups approximately 30 minutes prior to the 7 p.m. EST puck drop. The upper-body injury kept Larsson out of the Sabres' 7-3 loss to the Blackhawks on Friday, marking the center's first absence since Oct. 18.
