Strikes for first goal of season Karlsson scored a power-play goal in Saturday's 4-1 loss to the Devils.

Records two assists Karlsson logged two assists, two shots on goal and a plus-3 rating in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Flames.

Impact Karlsson was on the top line Saturday, which likely helped him break out for a multi-point game. He's earned three assists, five shots on net, two PIM and a minus-1 rating over three contests this season. The Canucks forward combinations are far from settled, so don't be surprised to see Karlsson bounce around the lineup, which could lead to swings in his production on offense.

Scores twice in loss Karlsson scored two goals on three shots in Saturday's 7-4 loss to the Mammoth.

Impact Karlsson found the back of the net for the first time since March 19, when he scored a goal in a 6-2 loss to the Lightning. The 26-year-old forward only recorded one point in the seven games between the last two in which he scored, so he's been far from reliable in most fantasy formats. His bottom-six role in one of the worst offenses in the league doesn't really help his fantasy prospects, either. WIth 33 points (15 goals, 18 assists) in 73 games, Karlsson isn't much of a fantasy asset outside of the very deep formats.

He later picked up the secondary helper on Liam Ohgren's goal in the third period to secure his third multi-point game of the campaign. Overall, Karlsson is up to 12 goals, 16 assists, 90 shots on net and 71 hits over 60 games this season. With the Canucks roster undergoing some turnover at the trade deadline, Karlsson might have an opportunity to carve out a middle-six role during the remainder of the regular season.
