Erik Karlsson Heating Up In San Jose
5 years agoSan Jose Sharks defenseman Erik Karlsson netted a goal and added an assist in his team's 4-3 overtime loss to the Buffalo Sabres on Tuesday. With his two points in the contest, the swift-skating Karlsson extended his personal point streak to five games - a span in which he's posted seven points (one goal, six assists). Despite San Jose's slow start out of the gates, the 29-year-old has had no issues generating offensive while appearing to be fully healthy for the first time in two seasons. Despite a down year in which he still registered 45 points in 53 games last season, Karlsson remains a universal top-five fantasy blueliner. He'll figures to vow for the defenseman scoring lead all season long and should have his value boosted even further when the strong roster around him begins playing to its full potential. He'll take the ice again versus the Canadiens on Thursday.
