Contributes assist Karlsson notched an assist and went plus-2 in Wednesday's 4-1 win over the Canucks.

Impact Karlsson posted two goals and three assists over the last six games of the regular season. While injuries interrupted his 2024-25 campaign, Karlsson was decent when he played, earning 29 points, 119 shots on net, 37 blocked shots and a plus-17 rating over 53 appearances. The veteran center will likely play more of a two-way role in the postseason, likely on the third line, so his offense may not be very strong, but he'll make up for it with defensive effort.

Helps out on power play Karlsson logged a power-play assist and three shots on goal in Saturday's 5-3 win over the Predators.

Impact Karlsson extended his point streak to four games (two goals, two assists) with his first power-play point since March 28 versus the Blackhawks. The center is up to 28 points (seven on the power play), 115 shots on net, 35 blocked shots and a plus-15 rating over 51 appearances. Karlsson's spot on the first power-play unit is intriguing, though he'll likely lose it once Jack Eichel (upper body) is healthy.

Impact Karlsson has two goals and an assist over the last three contests. The center dropped back down the lineup Thursday with the return of Tomas Hertl (shoulder) -- though Jack Eichel (upper body) was still out of action.

Even in a third-line role, he can be an effective depth scorer with playing time in all situations.
