Penguins' Erik Karlsson: Climbing all-time defensemen point list
Karlsson scored Pittsburgh's only goal in a 2-1 loss to Boston on Tuesday.
He wired a shot from the point that beat Jeremy Swayman. It was Pittsburgh's first shot of the game. Karlsson is on a three-game, four-point scoring streak that includes three assists and 10 shots. He's on a 55-point pace, which would give him four straight seasons with at least 53 points and 10 of his 17 NHL campaigns. Karlsson has 909 points (1,139 games). At his current pace, he may hit the 1,000-point mark in 2027-28. Karlson is currently 13th all-time in scoring from the blue line, and with decent health, he will pass Bobby Orr, who has 915 points, into 12th later this season.

Penguins' Erik Karlsson: Removed from IR
Karlsson (lower body) was activated off injured reserve ahead of Thursday's game in Edmonton.
Ryan Graves (lower body) was placed on injured reserve in a corresponding move. It was reported Jan. 13 that the 35-year-old Karlsson would be out of action for at least two weeks, but the veteran blueliner seemingly made strides in his recovery and is poised to return to the lineup Thursday in Edmonton. If Kris Letang (upper body) isn't able to suit up, Karlsson may have a big workload in store if he's 100 percent healthy.

Karlsson (lower body) will not be in action versus Calgary on Wednesday but did practice in a regular jersey, Josh Yohe of The Athletic reports.
Karlsson will be out of action for his fifth straight contest due to his lower-body injury. Still, it seems the blueliner is making progress and could be back sooner rather than later.

Penguins' Erik Karlsson: Lands on injured reserve
Karlsson was placed on injured reserve Tuesday with a lower-body injury. Per Seth Rorabaugh of Tribune-Review Sports, Karlsson will be out of action for at least two weeks.
Karlsson logged 23:12 of ice time in Sunday's clash with the Bruins, so it's not immediately clear when he suffered this lower-body injury. In order to bolster the team's defensive options, Ryan Graves was called up from the minors in a corresponding move. Karlsson has just one goal in his last 12 outings, but he has chipped in seven helpers over that stretch.

Penguins' Erik Karlsson: One of each in win
Karlsson scored a goal, tallied an assist and put two shots on net in Thursday's 4-1 win over New Jersey.
Karlsson tallied the opening goal for Pittsburgh just under seven minutes into the first period before picking up a secondary helper on Evgeni Malkin's power-play score. With the pair of points, Karlsson now has four goals, 29 assists, 92 shots on net and 40 blocks through 42 games this season. During the Penguins' six-game win streak, the 35-year-old blueliner has been a steady contributor to the offense with seven points, which include two multi-assist outings. The Pens' top defenseman ranks inside the top 10 in points among blueliners across the NHL and is tied for sixth in assists. While he likely won't reach the 100-point threshold again, Karlsson should continue to quarterback the team's top power-play unit, which should give him a solid chance at posting his best offensive season with Pittsburgh if he can surpass the 56 points he had during the 2023-24 season.
