Scores overtime winner Karlsson scored the game-winning goal in Thursday's 6-5 win over the Red Wings.

Impact Karlsson has been finding his offensive stride of late with six points in his last five contests, though none of those tallies was earned with the man advantage. While the 33-year-old blueliner has been putting together a solid campaign, 52 points in 79 games, it's a far cry from the 101 he racked up last year on his way to the Norris Trophy.

Three helpers against Bolts Karlsson notched three assists in Saturday's 5-4 win over the Lightning.

Impact The 33-year-old blueliner picked up a helper in each period, none bigger than the one he recorded on Michael Bunting's game-winner in the third. While he does have a modest three-game point streak going, this was Karlsson's first multi-point performance since Feb. 22. The Penguins could use a hot streak from him to close out the regular season as they fight to lock down the final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference.

Offensive game lacking Karlsson failed to register a shot in Monday's 5-2 win over the Rangers, extending his goal drought to 18 games.

Impact Karlsson is also pointless in his last seven outings while generating 20 shots, eight blocks and two hits while averaging 23:41 of ice time. Despite the lack of offensive production, the veteran blueliner continues to see time with the No. 1 power-play unit ahead of Kris Letang.

Goal drought continues Karlsson failed to score a goal for the 14th straight game against the Avalanche on Sunday.

Impact Karlsson's lack of production comes despite having racked up 43 shots over that 14-game stretch, including five versus Colorado on Sunday. Brought in to hopefully give the Penguins an offensive boost from the blue line, the 33-year-old defenseman has managed just 46 points in 70 games, well off his 101-point total from last season.

Completes comeback in overtime Karlsson scored a goal on three shots and added two PIM in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime win over the Canucks.

Impact Karlsson scored 1:42 into overtime, giving the Penguins their only lead of the game. He has 21 points over his last 23 outings, but his goal Tuesday was his first since Jan. 8. The 33-year-old defenseman is up to 43 points, 135 shots on net, 60 blocked shots, 28 PIM and a plus-10 rating through 56 appearances in a top-four role with ample power-play time.

Gathers power-play helper Karlsson recorded a power-play assist in Sunday's 2-1 loss to the Kings.

Impact Karlsson set up a Sidney Crosby goal late in the first period. While Karlsson hasn't scored in 13 games, he's logged 10 assists, including four on the power play, in that span. The 33-year-old defenseman is up to 38 points, 121 shots on net, 55 blocked shots and a plus-8 rating through 52 outings overall. He'll likely never come near his 101-point total from last season again, but he still puts up strong offense from the blue line.

Ready to rock Karlsson (illness) will be available to play Saturday against Vegas, per Penguins play-by-play announcer Josh Getzoff.

Impact Karlsson will be good to go after missing Friday's practice. He has compiled one goal and seven assists during a seven-game point streak. Karlsson has accounted for seven goals, 31 points, 102 shots on net and 44 blocked shots through 42 contests this campaign.

Questionable for Saturday Karlsson missed Friday's practice because of an illness, Matt Vensel of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports. He's questionable for Saturday's game against Vegas as a result.

Impact Karlsson has seven goals and 31 points in 42 outings this season. If he's healthy enough to play Saturday, then he'll attempt to extend his seven-game scoring streak in which he's recorded a goal and seven assists. Should Karlsson end up missing the contest, then Ryan Shea might draw into the lineup after being summoned from AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Wednesday.

Pushes point streak to seven games Karlsson had an assist in Monday's 3-0 home victory against the Kraken.

Impact Karlsson extended his point streak to seven games, posting one goal and eight points since flipping the calendar from December to January. The veteran rearguard also added a plus-1 rating, four shots on goal and three blocked shots in his 25:18 of ice time across 25 shifts. He'll look to push the point streak to eight games when the Penguins open a two-game Southwest road trip against the Golden Knights on Saturday.

Extends point streak Karlsson garnered an assist versus Vancouver in a 4-3 loss Thursday, continuing his five-game point streak.

Impact Karlsson has registered one goal and five helpers, including a pair of power-play points, during his current streak. Barring a rapid uptick in productivity, the veteran blueliner shouldn't be expected to repeat his 2022-23 number when he put up over 100 points to secure the Norris Trophy. Still, the Swede is on pace to challenge for the 60-point threshold as long as he stays healthy.

Two helpers against B's Karlsson notched two assists, one on the power play, in Thursday's 6-5 win over the Bruins.

Impact It's his first multi-point effort since Dec. 13, but Karlsson's goal drought now stands at 17 games, a stretch in which he's collected eight helpers. The 33-year-old blueliner hasn't come close to last season's career-best 101-point pace in his first campaign with Pittsburgh, but he's still been reasonably productive with six goals and 26 points through 37 contests.

JANUARY 5, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Earns assist against Caps Karlsson notched an assist in Tuesday's clash with Washington.

Impact Despite the helper, Karlsson is mired in a 16-game goal drought dating back to Nov. 25 versus Toronto. At this point, there is little chance that the defending Norris Trophy champion will reach the 25-goal mark as he did last year and remains well off the pace for another 100-point campaign.
