Karlsson posted a goal and a power-play assist for the second consecutive game Thursday against Vancouver, adding a plus-1 rating and two PIM in a winning effort.
The goal was vintage Karlsson, a one-timer from wide-open ice that he blasted past Ryan Miller. Before Tuesday's rather similar two-point performance, Karlsson hadn't posted a goal all year long and hadn't recorded a multi-point effort in nearly a month, dating back to Oct. 14. Of course, as we've seen in recent years, there's no other defenseman who can put the puck home like Karlsson can, so expect the points to keep flooding in for the NHL's premier offensive blueliner.
