The Edmonton Oilers have been hot to start the season, and are currently first in the Pacific Division with a 13-6-3 record. And things keep getting better, as it was announced that defenseman Adam Larsson is expected to make his return to the lineup after being sidelined for the past 21 games. Larsson's physical play and shut down style will provide a big boost to the Oilers' defensive core, and will also take some of the pressure off of Oscar Klefbom, Darnell Nurse, and Ethan Bear.

Larsson is set to return to action against the Los Angeles Kings on Thursday night. This will be his first game back since suffering a fractured fibula on opening night against the Vancouver Canucks.
