Erik Karlsson - Page 8 - NHL News & Rumors

Back skating Tuesday Karlsson (upper body) took a solo twirl on the ice Tuesday, Matt Vensel of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Impact Karlsson had been held off the ice since Thursday but seems to be making strides in his recovery. The Pens have just three more preseason opportunities for the 34-year-old blueliner to get back into the lineup, though he is expected back for Opening Night versus the Rangers on Oct. 9 either way. If Karlsson does miss any time, Kris Letang will move into the No. 1 power-play unit while Sebastian Aho could make the 23-man roster.

Impact Karlsson has yet to get onto the ice during training camp due to his lingering upper-body issue. The fact that Sullivan used the term confident multiple times actually could be more concerning for fantasy players, as it still leaves things up in the air. If Karlsson were to miss any game action, it would likely fall to Kris Letang to suit up with the No. 1 power-play unit while Sebastian Aho could make the Opening Night roster.

Skates on his own Saturday Karlsson (upper body) skated on his own before practice Saturday, Matt Vensel of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Impact Karlsson was unable to skate when the Penguins opened training camp Wednesday, so he is trending in the right direction. Karlsson is expected to be ready for the start of the regular season Oct, 9 versus the Rangers. He had 56 points in his first season with the Penguins in 82 games as Pittsburgh failed to make the playoffs. Karlsson had a career-high 101 points in 2022-23 for San Jose and is likely to be around the 70-point mark this season, if he can remain healthy.

Day-to-day to open camp Karlsson was labeled day-to-day with an upper-body injury on the first day of Penguins' training camp Wednesday, Michelle Crechiolo of the Penguins' official site reports.

Impact Karlsson was no doubt hoping for a bounce-back year after managing just 56 points last season, well off his Norris Trophy pace the year prior in which he racked up 101 points. The addition of coach David Quinn is expected to unlock Karlsson's potential, though that's far from guaranteed. In regard to his injury, the fact that the team classified it as day-to-day should be an indication that Karlsson will be ready for Opening Night against the Rangers on Oct. 9 even if he does miss some preseason action.

The 33-year-old has two goals and five assists over his last six appearances, which came on the heels of a seven-game slump. The defenseman is at 53 points (16 on the power play), 202 shots on net, 98 blocked shots, 44 PIM and a plus-3 rating through 80 contests this season.
