Karlsson was on ice for 21:41 and recorded no points during Saturday's 3-2 overtime loss to Montreal in the preseason.
While he didn't reach the box score, Karlsson joined his team for the first time since competing on Team Sweden in the World Cup of Hockey. Preseason aside, the 26-year-old stud is in line for another monster season and remains the No. 1 blueliner option across all drafts. The Swede held a point-per-game pace last year en route to a historical campaign that consisted of 16 goals and 66 assists.
