Larsson returns to Oilers' lineup after bereavement absence

Adam Larsson returned to action for the Edmonton Oilers on Saturday in his first game since the death of his father last month.

Larsson was inserted into the Oilers' starting lineup for their afternoon affair against the Arizona Coyotes.

The defenseman took a leave of absence in early February following the sudden passing of his father, Robert, in late January.

Larsson was away from the Oilers for eight games.
