Karlsson scored a goal on two shots, supplied an assist and went minus-3 in Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Blackhawks.

EDGE Analysis

The good news was Karlsson putting a multi-point performance, but he didn't add much else for fantasy managers. The 32-year-old blueliner is up to three points, five shots on net, four blocked shots and a minus-3 rating through four contests. While he's playing big minutes, the Sharks' poor defense overall will offset some of the expected uptick in offense for Karlsson this year in the first season of the post-Brent Burns era.

Karlsson posted an assist in Friday's 2-1 loss to the Hurricanes.

EDGE Analysis

Karlsson helped out on an Evgeny Svechnikov goal at 17:48 of the first period. The assist was Karlsson's first point of the year, as he was held off the scoresheet in both games versus the Predators in Prague. The Swedish blueliner has added four blocked shots, three shots on net and an even plus-minus rating while working as the Sharks' top blueliner.

Karlsson (lower body) is on the Sharks' training camp roster, indicating he's back to full health.

EDGE Analysis

Karlsson missed the last nine games of last season with the injury. The 32-year-old has not exceeded 56 games played in any of the last four years, so fantasy managers should account for that on draft day. With Brent Burns traded to the Hurricanes in the offseason, Karlsson is expected to assume a larger role as the Sharks' clear No. 1 defenseman when he's in the lineup.

According to coach Bob Boughner, Karlsson (lower body) is likely done for the year, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports.

EDGE Analysis

Karlsson has yet to resume skating and the Sharks' season will be over following Friday's game versus the Kraken, so at this point it's probably safe to assume the 31-year-old defender is done for the year. Assuming that ends up being the case, Karlsson will finish the campaign having collected 10 goals and 35 points while averaging 23:28 of ice time through 50 contests.

Karlsson (lower body) won't play Thursday against the visiting Blues, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports.

EDGE Analysis

Thursday will mark the fourth straight missed game for Karlsson, who could end up being shut down for the season with only five games left on the Sharks' docket. Look for another update once the Swedish blueliner is either cleared to return or ruled out until 2022-23.

Karlsson (lower body) remains day-to-day and will not play Tuesday against the visiting Blue Jackets, Curtis Pashelka of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Given that the Sharks have been mathematically eliminated from playoff contention to go with Karlsson's recent injury history, it wouldn't be surprising to see the 31-year-old get shut down for the remainder of the season. Nonetheless, he'll be considered day-to-day heading into the team's next game Thursday at home against St. Louis.

Karlsson (lower body) will return to San Jose on Saturday to undergo further evaluation, Curtis Pashelka of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Karlsson will miss the next two games at a minimum due to his lower-body injury. With Karlsson on the shelf, look for Ryan Merkley to enter the lineup Saturday versus the Stars.

Karlsson produced a power-play assist and three shots on goal in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Canucks.

EDGE Analysis

Karlsson has three assists in his last four outings. The 31-year-old defenseman has done well on offense this season with 34 points, 111 shots on net and a minus-13 rating through 48 contests in a top-four role. Ten of his 24 helpers have come with the man advantage.

EDGE Analysis

Karlsson helped out on goals by Nick Bonino and John Leonard in the contest. The 31-year-old Karlsson has been boom or bust in 12 games since he returned from forearm surgery. He's got two goals and five assists in that span, but he's only been on the scoresheet in four of those contests. The Swede is up to 33 points, 106 shots on net, 43 blocked shots and a minus-11 rating through 45 appearances overall.
