William Karlsson Snaps Goal Drought in Rout of Anaheim
4 years agoVegas Golden Knights forward William Karlsson picked up his 11th goal of the season, and first in the last two weeks, on Friday night as Vegas overwhelmed Anaheim in a decisive 4-0 victory. Despite scoring and leading all Vegas forwards with 20:01 minutes of ice time in a game where the Golden Knights lobbed 51 shots on Anaheim's John Gibson, Karlsson only recorded a single shot. It is the third time in his last six games that Karlsson has only picked up one shot on net, which has been a trend this season, as Karlsson is posting his worst shots per game rate this season (1.93 shots) since joining Vegas in 2017. Playing on a talented Vegas roster will buoy his fantasy value, but Karlsson is no longer the roster-locked type of player he was a few years ago.
