Helps out on power play Karlsson notched a power-play assist, three shots on goal and two blocked shots in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Wild.

Impact The Golden Knights opted to keep Karlsson as the third-line center in the absence of Tomas Hertl (shoulder), instead moving Nicolas Roy up to the second line. Karlsson could still end up carving out more ice time in the long run, but the team may be playing it safe since he's still somewhat fresh off a long-term lower-body injury. The Swede has three helpers, including two on the power play, in four games since he returned. He's now at 21 points (four on the power play), 97 shots on net, 30 blocked shots and a plus-8 rating through 42 appearances this season.

Draws power-play assist Karlsson logged a power-play assist and fired two shots on goal in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Lightning.

Impact Karlsson has two helpers over three games since he returned from a two-month absence due to a lower-body injury. He set up Nicolas Roy on the opening tally Sunday. Karlsson is playing in a middle-six role at even strength, but he also sees time in all situations as a well-rounded center. For the season, he's produced 20 points (three on the power play), 94 shots on net, 28 blocked shots and a plus-8 rating over 41 contests.

Earns helper in return Karlsson notched an assist and two shots on goal in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Bruins.

Impact Karlsson set up a Brett Howden tally at 5:47 of the third period, which stretched the Golden Knights' lead to 3-0. This was Karlsson's first game in two months -- he missed 20 contests due to a lower-body injury. Even with the blowout win, the center was third among Vegas forwards with 15:54 of ice time, so he should be considered 100 percent. Injuries have drastically impacted his performance this year, as he's been limited to 19 points, 91 shots on net and a plus-8 rating over 39 appearances.

Ready to return Karlsson (lower body) was activated off long-term injured reserve, per SinBin.vegas, which sets the stage for him to return Thursday versus Boston.

Impact Karlsson is set to play for the first time since Jan. 20. He has seven goals and 18 points in 38 outings in 2024-25. Karlsson is projected to serve on the third line alongside Nicolas Roy and Reilly Smith in his return. Victor Olofsson might be a healthy scratch to make room for Karlsson.

Game-time call Thursday Karlsson (lower body) will be a game-time decision against the Bruins on Thursday.

Impact Karlsson has been sidelined since Jan. 20 versus the Blues due to his lower-body injury, a stretch of 20 games on the shelf. Prior to his absence, the veteran forward was mired in a 14-game goal drought during which he recorded just three assists to go with 32 shots, five hits and five blocks. If Karlsson is given the all-clear, he should still into a third-line role.

Nearing return Karlsson (lower body) is getting close to returning, but he won't play Friday versus Pittsburgh, per Jesse Granger of The Athletic.

Impact Karlsson hasn't been in the lineup since Jan. 20 due to the injury. When he is ready to draw back into the lineup, Karlsson might find himself centering the third line, though that says more about Vegas' depth than it does about Karlsson's abilities. He's been limited to seven goals and 18 points across 38 outings in an injury-riddled 2024-25, but he recorded 30 goals and 60 points in 70 regular-season appearances last campaign.

MARCH 6, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Shifts to long-term injured reserve Karlsson (lower body) was placed on long-term injured reserve Thursday, per PuckPedia.

Impact Karlsson has been out since Jan. 20 and is not considered close to a return. His placement on LTIR means he won't be available for Feb. 22 versus the Canucks, which will be his 10th straight game on the shelf. He'll be eligible to return Feb. 24 against the Kings, but an update on his status shouldn't be expected until after the Golden Knights resume their season at the earliest.
