The former Skellefteå player played 343 matches in a row - fourth longest in the NHL at the time - before the streak was broken at the end of last season.
The reason. He and his girlfriend became parents for the first time to their daughter Alba.
It was given that you missed it, it was nothing to discuss, he says.
He missed one single match in connection with the birth, thereafter he has played every match again.
Out of 342 matches in the series and playoffs since he came to Seattle, he has played 341.
Tough playing style
Then Adam Larsson has a tough playing style. He is the most tackling player in the club's short history, he covers shots and plays generally sacrificially.
It's well luck and hard work. Then you put down so much time in the summer so you're in good shape. It's a lot of grind on free days, says Larsson who has been in Seattle since the club debuted in the NHL in 2021.
Naturally, it's also about a high pain threshold.
It's very rare that you feel a hundred percent, he acknowledges.
He is highly appreciated in the club and has extended with four years on a contract worth over 51 million kronor per year.
Adam Larsson is doing his fifth VM with Tre Kronor and was part of taking it gold in 2018.
"Sick fun"
Now the team has started with three straight wins and the 2-1 win against Finland was, above all, an impressive overrun.
Yesterday was a step in the right direction anyway. Then we have pretty tough and difficult matches left. We're trying to build every day and take steps as a group every day, he says.
Adam Larsson is, as usual, one of the players who gets the most ice time in the team. He has averaged 21.10 so far, only back partner Jonas Brodin (21.56) has played more.
Larsson stands on an assist so far.
He enjoys a championship on home ground.
The audience has been fantastic, it's sick fun. That you get to have so much family and friends in the stands is special when you're there every day. It's not every day you get to play in front of them, he says.
