Erik Karlsson News
Pittsburgh Penguins defenseman Erik Karlsson notched three assists in Saturday's entertaining 5-4 victory over Tampa Bay. He helped Sidney Crosby on his 40th goal of the campaign early in the contest, set up Evgeni Malkin at the start of the second period, and wrapped up his hat trick of assists when Michael Bunting scored the game-winning goal at the 14:32 mark in the third frame. Karlsson jumped on 51 points with the effort, having dished out 42 assists in 77 games. The former Norris Trophy winner was off his game in March but has started strongly this month. Karlsson will have a chance to get to four games with his point streak in Monday's matchup versus Toronto.

There was a question mark hanging over Karlsson after he missed practice on Friday, but the seven-time All-Star will remain in the lineup on Saturday. Karlsson has played in every game since the start of last season, registering 31 points (seven goals, 24 assists) in 42 contests with the Penguins in 2023-24. After starting 2024 in hot form, Karlsson can extend his point streak to eight games on Saturday night.
Pittsburgh Penguins defenseman Erik Karlsson missed Friday's practice due to an illness, leaving his status for Saturday's meeting with the Golden Knights questionable.

The three-time Norris Trophy winner has disappointed fantasy managers for most of the season, but Karlsson has been on a hot streak lately, going on a seven-game point streak to start off the new year. He has notched 31 points (seven goals, 24 assists) in total in 42 games as a Penguin. Kris Letang would have a chance to move back to the top power-play unit without Karlsson, with Ryan Shea likely grabbing the open spot in the lineup.
