However, Vancouver wrapped up its regular season Wednesday against the Golden Knights, so Karlsson will head back to the minors.

Canucks' Linus Karlsson: Slides assist in overtime loss
Rotowire
Karlsson notched an assist, two shots on goal and two hits in Saturday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Wild.
Karlsson has three helpers over his last five outings. The 25-year-old continues to hold down spots on the fourth line and second power-play unit. Still, he's not a particularly intriguing player for fantasy. He's at five points, 25 shots on net, 26 hits and a plus-4 rating through 21 appearances, and he lacks a standout skill.

Rotowire
Karlsson produced a power-play assist and two shots on goal in Tuesday's 6-5 overtime win over the Stars.
Karlsson was on the ice late in a power play and helped out on a Victor Mancini tally before the man advantage expired. Two of Karlsson's last three points have come on the power play, but he's not seeing consistent playing time in that situation.

Canucks' Linus Karlsson: Scores on power play Friday
Rotowire
Karlsson scored a power-play goal on two shots and added six PIM in Friday's 7-6 shootout loss to the Blue Jackets.
Karlsson snapped a seven-game point drought with the tally. The 25-year-old is filling a bottom-six role while the Canucks contend with multiple injuries to forwards. He's produced two goals, 15 shots on net, 15 hits and a plus-3 rating over 14 appearances, so most fantasy managers can find better depth forwards on the waiver wire.

Canucks' Linus Karlsson: Summoned from Abbotsford
Rotowire
Karlsson was recalled from AHL Abbotsford on an emergency basis Tuesday.

Filip Chytil is sidelined with a concussion and Conor Garland (undisclosed) is a game-time decision for Tuesday's matchup against the Jets, so Karlsson has a chance to draw into the lineup.

Canucks' Linus Karlsson: Earns first career goal
Rotowire
Karlsson scored a goal on two shots and went plus-2 in Wednesday's 3-1 win over the Predators.
Karlsson's tally at 1:28 of the second period was his first NHL goal and point, and it was also the Canucks' game-winner.
