Snags helper against Isles Karlsson registered an assist in the season finale versus the Islanders on Wednesday.
Impact Karlsson ended the 2023-24 season on a high note with points in seven of his last eight outings for a combined three goals and seven assists. Overall, it's been a down season for the blueliner after he posted a career-high 101 points last year that saw him secure the Norris Trophy. Still, Karlsson got over the 50-point threshold for just the second time in his last six seasons.

Scores goal in must-win game Karlsson finished with a goal and an assist in Monday's 4-2 win over the Predators.
Impact It's been an up-and-down season for Karlsson, who isn't anywhere close to the 101 points he posted last year. Still, as the Pens push for a wild card spot, he has picked up the pace. Following a seven-game drought in March, he has posted three goals and nine points in the last seven games.

Earns assist in 1,000th game Karlsson posted a power-play assist, five shots on goal, two PIM and a minus-4 rating in Saturday's 6-4 loss to the Bruins.
Impact Karlsson became the newest member of the 1,000-game club Saturday. His stat line was reflective of his career -- he generated some offense on the power play, but struggled defensively. The 33-year-old has two goals and five assists over his last six appearances, which came on the heels of a seven-game slump. The defenseman is at 53 points (16 on the power play), 202 shots on net, 98 blocked shots, 44 PIM and a plus-3 rating through 80 contests this season.

Scores overtime winner Karlsson scored the game-winning goal in Thursday's 6-5 win over the Red Wings.
Impact Karlsson has been finding his offensive stride of late with six points in his last five contests, though none of those tallies was earned with the man advantage. While the 33-year-old blueliner has been putting together a solid campaign, 52 points in 79 games, it's a far cry from the 101 he racked up last year on his way to the Norris Trophy.

Three helpers against Bolts Karlsson notched three assists in Saturday's 5-4 win over the Lightning.
Impact The 33-year-old blueliner picked up a helper in each period, none bigger than the one he recorded on Michael Bunting's game-winner in the third. While he does have a modest three-game point streak going, this was Karlsson's first multi-point performance since Feb. 22. The Penguins could use a hot streak from him to close out the regular season as they fight to lock down the final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference.

Offensive game lacking Karlsson failed to register a shot in Monday's 5-2 win over the Rangers, extending his goal drought to 18 games.
Impact Karlsson is also pointless in his last seven outings while generating 20 shots, eight blocks and two hits while averaging 23:41 of ice time. Despite the lack of offensive production, the veteran blueliner continues to see time with the No. 1 power-play unit ahead of Kris Letang.

Goal drought continues Karlsson failed to score a goal for the 14th straight game against the Avalanche on Sunday.
Impact Karlsson's lack of production comes despite having racked up 43 shots over that 14-game stretch, including five versus Colorado on Sunday. Brought in to hopefully give the Penguins an offensive boost from the blue line, the 33-year-old defenseman has managed just 46 points in 70 games, well off his 101-point total from last season.
