Banks pair of apples Sunday Karlsson earned two assists, one with man advantage, in Sunday's 6-5 overtime loss to Toronto.

Impact Karlsson set up Sidney Crosby on the power play and helped out on Bryan Rust's 21st goal of the campaign in the defeat. Karlsson has two multi-point performances in his last three games and has only been held off the scoresheet on one occasion over his last 11 outings. The right-shot blueliner has eight goals, 45 points, 18 PIM, 154 shots on goal and a minus-21 rating while averaging 23:17 of ice time through 63 contests in 2024-25. Karlsson has been subject to trade speculation, though his $11.5 million cap hit and no-movement clause would certainly complicate any potential deal.

Three-point performance Thursday Karlsson notched two goals, an assist, four shots on goal and a plus-3 rating in Thursday's 5-4 overtime win over the Flyers.

Impact Karlsson didn't record a single point in the 6-1 loss to the Flyers on Tuesday, but that has been the only game in which he hasn't cracked the scoresheet dating back to the beginning of February. The 34-year-old veteran blueliner has 11 points across nine outings in February, totaling four goals, seven helpers, 24 shots, three hits and 12 blocked shots in that span.

On a roll in February Karlsson accounted for an even-strength assist, two blocked shots, one takeaway and a minus-3 rating in a team-high 27:54 of ice time Sunday in a 5-3 loss to the Rangers.

Impact Karlsson helped out Ryan Shea's first goal of 2024-25 early in the final frame. Karlsson has yet to be held off the scoresheet through six games in February, having provided a goal and six helpers during that stretch. The right-shot blueliner's point streak is up to seven games overall. Karlsson is on pace to match the 56 points he produced over 82 regular-season games in 2023-24. The 34-year-old continues to lead Pittsburgh on the back end with six markers and 34 helpers through 59 outings.

Extends point streak Karlsson registered an assist, two shots and a minus-2 rating during Saturday's 8-3 loss to the Capitals.

Impact Karlsson now has points in six consecutive outings dating before the Four Nations Face-Off. The 34-year-old could stand to improve on his minus-16 rating, but Karlsson's six goals and 39 points in 58 games cement him as one of the more dependable fantasy rearguards around.
