Karlsson (forearm) will remain out for at least two more weeks, Curtis Pashelka of The San Jose Mercury News reports Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Karlsson has missed the last nine games while dealing with a forearm injury that required surgery Jan. 24. His initial timeline for recovery set his return in mid-March and it appears he is still on track to return near the initially expected date. The 31-year-old began skating again Wednesday, Pashelka adds.

Karlsson had surgery on his left forearm Monday and will be out until mid-March at least.

EDGE Analysis

Karlsson has already missed nine games this year due to various problems and now is facing a two-month absence due to his latest injury. Even with his extended layoff, the 31-year-old defenseman should still have enough time to push for the 40-point threshold for the 10th time in his NHL career. Without the Swede in the lineup, both Mario Ferraro and Ryan Merkley should expect significant upticks in cie time, including with the man advantage. Given his recovery timeline, Karlsson should wind up on injured reserve in the coming days.

Karlsson (upper body) is not expected to return for Wednesday's game against the Capitals, per Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now.

EDGE Analysis

Karlsson was ruled out for Wednesday but may miss the next four games. According to Peng, Coach Bob Boughner stated, "Probably not going to see [Karlsson] on this road trip." Additionally, Karlsson is reportedly seeing a doctor regarding a potential surgical procedure. San Jose's next four games are road games. The next home game on the Sharks' schedule is Feb. 14.

Karlsson is dealing with an upper-body injury and won't play Saturday against the Lightning, Curtis Pashelka of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

EDGE Analysis

The injury is reportedly different than the upper-body issue that kept Karlsson out for a pair of games earlier this month (Jan. 6 and 8 against Buffalo and Philadelphia). Nonetheless, the 31-year-old will be forced to miss at least one game after producing four points in his last three. Karlsson's first chance to return will come Wednesday in Washington.

Karlsson logged an assist and two shots on goal in Saturday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Penguins.

EDGE Analysis

Karlsson helped out on a Rudolfs Balcers goal in the first period, which was the extent of the Sharks' offense in a low-scoring game. The 31-year-old Karlsson ended a three-game point drought with the helper. The Swedish defenseman has 23 points in just 31 outings this year, surpassing his 22-point campaign last season. He's added 80 shots on net, 31 blocked shots and a minus-3 rating while playing in a top-four role in 2021-22.

Karlsson (upper body) was cleared to play Tuesday, per Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now.

EDGE Analysis

Karlsson has missed the last two games. The 31-year-old has averaged 24:27 of ice time -- 1:59 during the power-play -- and tallied nine points through his most recent 10 appearances.

Karlsson (upper body) is in doubt for Tuesday's clash with the Red Wings, Curtis Pashelka of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Karlsson has missed the Sharks' previous two tilts while dealing with his upper-body problem. While the veteran defender is goalless in his last six contests, he has picked up four assists over that stretch. If cleared to play against Detroit, Karlsson should retake his place on the blue line where he figures to offer top-half fantasy value.

Karlsson (upper body) will miss Saturday's game in Philadelphia, Curtis Pashelka of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Coach Bob Boughner said Karlsson could return for Tuesday's game versus Detroit. The 31-year-old tallied an assist in four of his last five games before the injury and has 22 points overall this season.

Karlsson (upper body) was ruled out of Thursday's contest in Buffalo, per Curtis Pashelka of The San Jose Mercury News.

EDGE Analysis

Karlsson, Pashelka adds, is expected to return to play early next week if he remains out through Saturday. The Swede has averaged 24:47 of ice time, 1:59 with the man advantage and tallied nine points through his last 10 contests.

Coach Bob Boughner said Karlsson (upper body) is questionable for Thursday's game in Buffalo, Curtis Pashelka of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Karlsson suffered the injury during Tuesday's game. The 31-year-old doesn't figure to miss much time, even if he is sidelined for Thursday's contest.
