Penguins' Erik Karlsson: Secures 900th career point
Karlsson logged two assists and two blocked shots in Thursday's 4-3 overtime win over the Red Wings.
Karlsson's second helper of the game was the 900th point of his NHL career. The 35-year-old blueliner had 13 points over 14 outings in December and has started January on a high note as well. The veteran defenseman is up to 30 points, 86 shots on net, 38 blocked shots and a minus-5 rating through 39 appearances in a top-four role this season.

Penguins' Erik Karlsson: Records two assists
Karlsson had two assists, including one on the power play, in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Hurricanes.
Karlsson assisted Anthony Mantha's power-play goal in the first period and also set up Thomas Novak's strike in the second frame. The 35-year-old veteran is on pace to reach the 60-point plateau if he stays healthy, as he has 28 points (three goals, 25 assists) in 38 games this season.

Penguins' Erik Karlsson: Moves past illness
Karlsson (illness) is available for Tuesday's home game against the Hurricanes, Penguins play-by-play announcer Josh Getzoff reports.
Karlsson didn't practice Monday due to an illness, but he'll avoid missing his first game of the season Tuesday. The right-shot blueliner should assume his usual duties on the No. 1 pairing while seeing time with the man advantage against Carolina.

Penguins' Erik Karlsson: Dealing with illness
Karlsson will miss Monday's practice because of an illness.
Karlsson has three goals and 26 points in 37 outings this season. If he can't play Tuesday versus Carolina, then Connor Clifton might draw into the lineup. Karlsson's absence would also probably bump Kris Letang up to the top power-play unit.

Penguins' Erik Karlsson: Extends point streak
Karlsson recorded a power-play goal and an even-strength assist in Tuesday's 6-4 loss to the Oilers.
Karlsson not only posted his first multi-point performance since Dec. 9, but he also extended his prolific point streak to five contests. The 35-year-old defenseman has 25 points in 32 games this season, tallying three goals and 22 assists. He ranks among the top 10 in points among blueliners this campaign.

Penguins' Erik Karlsson: Strikes on power play in loss
Karlsson scored a power-play goal on five shots and blocked two shots in Thursday's 4-2 loss to the Canadiens.
Karlsson keeps rolling on offense with a goal and seven helpers over his last eight games. The goal was his first since Nov. 3. The defenseman is at two goals, 21 points, 64 shots on net, 29 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating through 29 appearances. The Penguins have been better than expected, and Karlsson is on pace for his best year in black and gold.

Penguins' Erik Karlsson: Unlucky two-assist effort
Karlsson had two assists in a 4-3 shootout loss to the Ducks on Tuesday.
He was unlucky, too -- the game-tying goal with 0.1 second left in the third period went in off his glove, forcing overtime and ultimately the shootout. Karlsson is having another strong season. He has 20 points, including 19 assists, in 28 games, but unless he goes on a real tear, there's no way he can hit double digit snipes. Still, Karlsson is a strong fantasy play.

Penguins' Erik Karlsson: Two-point effort Monday
Karlsson collected two power-play assists in Monday's 5-1 win over the Flyers.
The 35-year-old blueliner helped break open a 1-1 tie in the second period by having a hand in tallies by Sidney Crosby and Bryan Rust. Karlsson cooled off considerably in November, and since his last multi-point performance Oct. 27, he'd managed just one goal -- his only tally of the season -- and six points in the 14 games prior to Monday's outburst.

Penguins' Erik Karlsson: Sets up opening goal
Karlsson provided an assist and blocked two shots in Sunday's 4-0 win over the Predators.
Karlsson's trip to his home country during Sunday's Global Series game in Sweden was a success. Not only did he help the Penguins secure a shutout win, but he also etched his name on the scoresheet with the primary helper on the opening goal scored by his defense partner, Parker Wotherspoon. Overall, the 35-year-old Karlsson is up to 12 assists, 13 points, 36 shots on goal and 21 blocks through 19 games this season. Even in his 17th season, he remains a solid option in all fantasy formats for his category coverage and offensive output, as he is currently just outside the top 10 in points among NHL defensemen.

Penguins' Erik Karlsson: Opens scoring in loss
Karlsson scored a goal on three shots in Monday's 4-3 loss to the Maple Leafs.
The goal at 13:08 of the first period was Karlsson's first of the season. The 35-year-old defenseman is up to 11 points, 26 shots on net, 15 blocked shots and a plus-7 rating through 14 appearances. He's benefited from the Penguins' strong start to the season, and he should provide steady offense while occupying a top-four role and a spot on the first power-play unit.

Penguins' Erik Karlsson: Dishes three more helpers Monday
Karlsson notched three assists with one shot on net, three blocked shots and a plus-3 rating in Monday's 6-3 win over the Blues.
The veteran blueliner had a helper in each period, including the primary assist on Bryan Rust's game-winner just 42 seconds into the third. Karlsson has yet to find the back of the net himself in 2025-26, but through 10 games, he's delivered nine assists, all of them coming in the last six contests.

Penguins' Erik Karlsson: Five assists in last four games
Karlsson delivered two assists in a 5-3 win over Florida on Thursday.
Karlsson is starting to warm up -- he has five assists in his last four games. However, he still has just nine shots in eight games. That's a bit concerning for a guy who has averaged 204 shots over the past three seasons. Karlsson's average ice time is also down to 20:32 so far, which is his lowest mark since his rookie season in 2009-10, when he averaged 20:07 of ice time.

Penguins' Erik Karlsson: Provides two assists
Karlsson registered two assists in Thursday's 4-2 win over the Kings.
Karlsson has started slow in 2025-26, as these helpers were his first two points of the campaign. The 35-year-old blueliner has added seven shots on net, five blocked shots and a minus-2 rating over five appearances. The Penguins have a fairly inexperienced blue line this season, which will offer Karlsson plenty of opportunities in a top-four role and on the first power-play unit, where he earned one of his helpers Thursday.

Penguins' Erik Karlsson: Nets 200th career goal
Karlsson scored a goal in Tuesday's 5-0 win over the Blackhawks.
This was the 200th goal of Karlsson's career, a milestone he achieved in his 1,081st game. He ranks 23rd on the all-time list for goals by a defenseman, and second to only Brent Burns (261) among active blueliners, though Burns was a forward for part of his career. Karlsson has managed to have a decent campaign with 11 tallies, 53 points, 186 shots on net, 94 blocked shots and a minus-26 rating over 79 outings this season.

Penguins' Erik Karlsson: Sets up game-winner
Karlsson logged a power-play assist, two shots on goal, two hits and two blocked shots in Sunday's 1-0 overtime win over the Senators.
Karlsson had been limited to one helper over his previous five games. The defenseman's last three points have come with the man advantage. For the season, Karlsson is up to 51 points (15 on the power play), 178 shots on net, 88 blocked shots and a minus-24 rating through 75 appearances. Barring an April injury, he's set to play in every game for the third year in a row, something he's done just one other time in his career.
