Larsson (mumps) was assigned to AHL Albany on Thursday for a conditioning assignment, Tom Gulitti of The Record reports.

Analysis:

Larsson is no longer feeling the effects of the mumps, but the Devils want him to get a game under his belt in the minors on Friday before they feel comfortable activating him. He's expected to play just one game before returning to the Devils in time for Saturday's game against the Capitals.
