Erik Karlsson - Page 2 - NHL News & Rumors

Sets up opening goal Karlsson provided an assist and blocked two shots in Sunday's 4-0 win over the Predators.

Impact Karlsson's trip to his home country during Sunday's Global Series game in Sweden was a success. Not only did he help the Penguins secure a shutout win, but he also etched his name on the scoresheet with the primary helper on the opening goal scored by his defensive pairing Parker Wotherspoon. Overall, the 35-year-old Karlsson is up to 12 assists, 13 points, 36 shots on goal and 21 blocks through 19 games this season. Even in his 17th season, he remains a solid option in all fantasy formats for his category coverage and offensive output, as he is currently just outside the top 10 in points among NHL defensemen.

Five assists in last four games Karlsson delivered two assists in a 5-3 win over Florida on Thursday.

Impact Karlsson is starting to warm up -- he has five assists in his last four games. But he still has just nine shots in eight games. That's a bit concerning for a guy who has averaged 204 for the past three seasons. And Karlsson's average ice time is down to 20:32 so far.

Impact Karlsson has started slow in 2025-26, as these helpers were his first two points of the campaign. The 35-year-old blueliner has added seven shots on net, five blocked shots and a minus-2 rating over five appearances. The Penguins have a fairly inexperienced blue line this season, which will offer Karlsson plenty of opportunities in a top-four role and on the first power-play unit, where he earned one of his helpers Thursday.
