Larsson (mumps) rejoined the Devils for their morning skate Wednesday, Tom Gulitti of The Record reports.

Analysis:

While he won't be a lineup option Wednesday against the Senators, Larsson's reunion with his teammates suggests he's past the contagious period with the mumps. Larsson noted that he first fell ill the night of Dec. 3, meaning that he spent two weeks recovering from the virus. He could need a few days to get his conditioning up to speed, so it's not a given that he'll be able to return to the lineup for either of the Devils' two weekend games.
