Karlsson scored a goal on four shots and distributed three assists in Thursday's 7-4 loss to the Red Wings.

EDGE Analysis

Karlsson had the primary assist on the Sharks' first three goals before one of his own shots took a deflection off a Red Wing and into the net. The 32-year-old defenseman continued a bounce-back season for the ages with this outing. It's his second four-point effort of the campaign, and the Swede is up to 11 goals, 28 points, 59 shots on net and a plus-2 rating through 19 contests. He's only maintained a point-per-game pace once previously in his career, so it's tough to think he'll keep this up all season -- but it's sure fun to see him return to his former glory.

Karlsson is off to an fantastic start to the season and with the goals, he became the first defender to hit the 10-point mark this season (six goals, five assists in 10 games). Remarkably, it's the first time in his career that he's the first defenseman to 10 points by this point in the season. Karlsson will be a bright light in what will likely be a long season for the Sharks.

EDGE Analysis

Karlsson turned back the clock with a dominant performance. He secured the Sharks' win 57 seconds into overtime with his goal, and the three-point effort was his best of the season. The defenseman has looked like a younger version of himself so far with four goals, five helpers, 22 shots on net, nine blocked shots and a minus-1 rating in 10 appearances.
