Oilers' Larsson returns to practice after 8-game absence due to father's death

Edmonton Oilers defenseman Adam Larsson returned to practice Friday following a lengthy absence from the team due to the sudden death of his father in January.

Larsson hasn't suited up in a game since Jan. 23, and head coach Todd McLellan said there's no word on when he might get back into game action.

In 40 games this season, Larsson's notched three goals and three assists while averaging over 21 minutes per night.
