Lucas Carlsson - NHL News & Rumors

Tallies twice in AHL win Carlsson scored two goals in AHL San Jose's 5-3 win over Calgary on Tuesday.

Impact Carlsson earned his second multi-goal game of the season with this performance. He's up to 11 goals and 20 points through 46 appearances, a bit behind the pace that saw him log 23 points in 45 outings in the 2024-25 regular season. Carlsson is unlikely to get NHL minutes to close out 2025-26, as the Sharks have a bit of a logjam on defense.

Nets both goals in AHL loss Carlsson scored a pair of goals in AHL San Jose's 4-2 loss to Colorado on Friday.

Impact Carlsson began the year with an injury, and he's be in the AHL since healthy. For the season, the 28-year-old is at six goals and eight points over 17 appearances. The Sharks already have a logjam on the blue line at the NHL level, so chances are slim of Carlsson receiving a call-up in 2025-26.

Warsofsky said Thursday that he doesn't think Carlsson will be able to participate fully in training camp, but he also said that the 28-year-old isn't far away from playing. Carlsson will likely begin the 2025-26 campaign in the minors, but it seems possible that he'll be able to suit up early in the regular season.

Impact Carlsson had 10 goals and 23 points in 45 regular-season appearances with AHL San Jose as well as a goal and four points in 13 outings with the Sharks in 2024-25. Provided he's healthy, the 28-year-old defenseman is expected to start the upcoming campaign in the minors.

Manages assist Sunday Carlsson provided an assist and went plus-2 in Sunday's 5-2 loss to the Flames.

Impact This ended an eight-game point drought for Carlsson. The 27-year-old has gotten a chance to play with the big club and even see some power-play time as injuries continue to pile up among the Sharks' defensemen. Over 11 appearances in the NHL this season, Carlsson has four points, 14 shots on net, 14 PIM, 12 blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating.

Nabs helper in shootout win Carlsson logged an assist, four PIM and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 6-5 shootout win over the Maple Leafs.

Impact Carlsson has three points over two contests with the Sharks. He set up Tyler Toffoli's opening goal at 7:50 of the first period in this game. Carlsson is getting a chance to audition for an NHL job next season -- he's already under contract for 2025-26, but he's on a two-way deal, which makes it more palatable for him to be stashed in the AHL. Even if he stays with the Sharks for the rest of the season, fantasy managers should remain cautious, as it's unlikely he can keep up this scoring pace.

Lucas Carlsson's late goal helps Sharks sink slumping Bruins 3-1 Saturday's game marked the fifth-straight loss for the Bruins, giving them the third-longest active losing streak in the NHL.

MARCH 23, 2025 • BOSTON.COM

Two points in return to NHL Carlsson scored a goal on two shots, added an assist and went plus-2 in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Bruins.

Impact This was Carlsson's first NHL action since early in the 2022-23 campaign with the Panthers. The 27-year-old defenseman last got on the scoresheet in an NHL game the year before that, but he made the most of his Sharks debut with the game-winning tally at 16:37 of the third period, as well as a helper on Barclay Goodrow's empty-netter. Carlsson has a chance to stick with the big club while Henry Thrun (upper body) and Marc-Edouard Vlasic (upper body) are on the mend, though Jimmy Schuldt has also bounced between the NHL and AHL levels recently. Even with Saturday's impressive performance, Carlsson is unlikely to be much of an option for fantasy managers given his limited track record.

Carlsson's late goal helps Sharks sink slumping Bruins 3-1

Lucas Carlsson scored the go-ahead goal — his first of the season — with 3:23 left in the game and the San Jose Sharks topped the Boston Bruins 3-1

MARCH 23, 2025 • Associated Press

Joining NHL roster Carlsson was promoted from AHL San Jose on Friday.

Impact Carlsson's addition to the roster comes as Jimmy Schuldt was sent down in a corresponding move. The 27-year-old Carlsson has appeared in an NHL game since the 2022-23 campaign when he was with the Panthers. Unless Marc-Edouard Vlasic (upper body) is cleared to play against the Bruins on Saturday, Carlsson figures to slot into a third-pairing role.

MARCH 21, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

On waivers Wednesday Carlsson (undisclosed), who opened the campaign on the injured non-roster list, was put on waivers by the Sharks on Wednesday, per Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.
