Karlsson notched a power-play assist and two shots on goal with a minus-4 rating in Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Blues.
EDGE Analysis
Karlsson was on the ice for all but one of the Blues' goals, leading to a mixed bag on the box score for the Swede. The good news is he's produced a three-game point streak for the second time in December. The blueliner has 27 points (eight on the power play) through 36 contests this season.

Karlsson posted two assists with a plus-2 rating and a shot on goal in a 4-1 victory against the Kings on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Karlsson still has an ugly minus-7 rating, but he already has as many goals as he did last season and isn't far off averaging a point per game. As expected, his shooting percentage has bounced back after dropping to 1.8 in 53 games last season, but he isn't getting as many shots on net as he did a few years ago. Overall, he has three goals and 20 points in 26 contests.

Karlsson managed an assist with the man advantage and went plus-3 in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Ducks.
EDGE Analysis
Good things happened for the Sharks when Karlsson was on the ice, and he was rewarded with the secondary helper on Brent Burns' power-play goal. Karlsson is up to 15 points, 28 blocked shots and 29 shots on goal in 19 games. Saturday's game versus the Red Wings would be the Swedish defenseman's 700th NHL appearance, assuming nothing pops up that would postpone the milestone from being reached.

Karlsson scored a goal and an assist in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Sabres.
EDGE Analysis
The blueliner sent the game to OT with a third-period tally, his first goal of the year, but the Sharks couldn't find a winner in extra time. Karlsson is off to a great start offensively in his second campaign for San Jose with eight points through eight games, but his minus-8 rating is a reflection of the team's rough defensive performance to date.

The good news was Karlsson setting up Timo Meier and Tomas Hertl for goals in the contest, but the smooth-skating defenseman was also on the ice for most of the goals against. Karlsson has posted six assists in seven games this year, including five in a four-game point streak.
