Larsson was held off the scoresheet for the 16th straight game in Saturday's 2-1 loss to the Kings.
Larsson is a top-four defenseman who plays in a shutdown role, so it's not unusual for him to have long stretches without offense. This is a pretty bad slump even in that context, though he also opened last year on a 13-game drought and ended the 2023-24 campaign with no points over his last 20 outings. Overall, the 32-year-old has three points, 32 shots on net, 31 hits, 43 blocked shots, 15 PIM and a plus-2 rating over 21 contests this season.

Kraken's Adam Larsson: Locked up by Seattle
Rotowire
Larsson signed a four-year, $21 million contract with the Kraken on Tuesday.
Larsson was rewarded with a raise ahead of the 2024-25 season, and the 31-year-old is tied into Seattle for the next five years. The right-shot defenseman has missed just one game over the last three years, an incredible feat of durability and consistency. Larsson will continue to be a stay-at-home defenseman in a top four that features offensive blueliners Brandon Montour and Vince Dunn. Larsson should open the season on the top defensive pairing.

Rotowire
Larsson produced an assist, three hits and two PIM in Friday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Blues.
