Bends twine Saturday Karlsson scored a goal on three shots in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over Utah.

Impact Karlsson put the Golden Knights ahead in the third period while extending his point streak to four games. He has two goals, three assists, 11 shots on net, five blocked shots and a plus-5 rating in that span, which is all of his action this season after opening the year on injured reserve. The center remains on the third line, but he's performing bigger than that role would suggest. Karlsson is a fairly safe depth forward for fantasy.

Draws assist in loss Karlsson recorded an assist and two shots on goal in Wednesday's 6-3 loss to the Kings.

Impact Karlsson helped out on a Tanner Pearson tally in the second period.

He hasn't missed a beat after sitting out eight games with an undisclosed injury to begin the season. Karlsson has added eight shots on net, four blocked shots and a plus-4 rating.

Impact Karlsson missed the first eight games of the season due to an undisclosed injury. The center slotted in on the third line and second power-play unit, logging 13:58 of ice time, though he'll likely see more minutes once he's up to speed. He's a vital player for Vegas in all situations -- he's logged multiple shorthanded points in seven of the last eight seasons and has topped double-digits in power-play points in three of those years. Karlsson put up 30 goals and 60 points in 70 regular-season outings in 2023-24, though he shot 17.1 percent, a number that's likely to come down this year.

Impact Vegas placed Victor Olofsson (lower body) on injured reserve in a corresponding move. As expected, Karlsson is ready to make his season debut in Saturday's matchup versus San Jose.

Impact This news effectively rules Karlsson out versus the Senators on Friday but it seems there is a clear plan to get the center back on the ice. Once given the all-clear, the Swede figures to move into a third-line center role, which could mean Cole Schwindt is dropped from the lineup and possibly reassigned to AHL Henderson. If given the all-clear Saturday, Karlsson will first need to be activated off injured reserve.

Impact Karlsson seems unlikely to suit up versus the Kings on Tuesday considering he is still in a non-contact jersey. He could be progressing toward a return with an eye to the upcoming back-to-back versus Ottawa and San Jose on Friday and Saturday, respectively. Once cleared to play, Karlsson figures to slot into a top-six role, which could see Tanner Pearson pushed down the depth chart.

Impact The injury wasn't bad enough to keep Karlsson off the ice, but it was obvious he was struggling, as he was limited to two helpers over seven games. He added nine shots on net, eight hits, five blocked shots and a plus-4 rating from a third-line role. Karlsson was a 60-point contributor in the regular season, and he should fill a middle-six role again in 2024-25.

Gets on scoresheet Friday Karlsson registered an assist in Friday's 2-0 win over the Stars in Game 6.

Impact After a 60-point regular season, Karlsson was silenced for the first five games of the first round. He broke the slump by setting up Mark Stone's empty-netter Friday, though that's hardly a sign of good things to come for Karlsson. The veteran center is stuck in a third-line, and his defensive skills are strong enough to prevent him from getting more favorable matchups. Karlsson has added nine shots on net, six hits and a plus-3 rating through six playoff outings.

Karlsson is up to 28 goals and 57 points over 67 appearances, with both of those scoring numbers being the highest he's had in the last six years. He's added 169 shots on net and a plus-16 rating while seeing steady middle-six usage.
