Karlsson (groin) will rejoin the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Bruins, Kevin Kurz of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Karlsson should retake his spot in the top pairing and on the top power-play unit after missing Sunday's tilt against Detroit after suffering a groin injury against the Blue Jackets on Saturday. The star blueliner is overdue to find the back of the net, converting at a career-low 1.8 shooting percentage, though he's collecting assists at nearly a career-high rate, notching 42 through 51 games.

Karlsson (groin) won't play in Sunday's game versus the Red Wings, Kevin Kurz of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Karlsson aggravated his existing groin injury in Saturday's loss to the Blue Jackets. This will be the 10th time in the last 14 games Karlsson sits out. Coach Peter DeBoer doesn't have a specific timeline for Karlsson's return, and Justin Braun is expected to bump into the second pairing as a result.

Karlsson exited Saturday's loss to Columbus after aggravating a recent groin injury, Kevin Kurz of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Saturday marked just the fourth time Karlsson was in the lineup since missing nine contests with the aforementioned injury. San Jose faces a quick turnaround with a game Sunday in Detroit, so expect the team to provide more information on the Swedish defenseman's status before they get underway.

The Sharks' blueliner was in obvious discomfort as he skated back to the bench. Expect an update on Karlsson's status to surface following Saturday's game.

Karlsson (lower body) will return to the lineup for Saturday's game against the Canucks, Paul Gackle of the Bay Area News Group reports.

EDGE Analysis

Karlsson's return along the blue line will reinforce an already dangerous San Jose squad that had a six-game winning streak snapped Thursday against the Capitals. The 28-year-old defenseman is in the midst of another electric offensive season, having compiled three goals and 40 assists through 47 games. A career-low 1.9 shooting percentage suggests Karlsson is due for some extra second-half goals as well, which should provide a boost for his fantasy owners.

Karlsson (lower body) has been ruled out of Thursday's matchup with Washington, Kevin Kurz of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

The dynamic blueliner took part in Wednesday's practice, but it appears the Sharks are taking a cautious approach to Karlsson's return. Karlsson's next chance to suit up for game action will now be Saturday against Vancouver.

Karlsson (lower body) joined his teammates on the ice for Wednesday's practice session, Kevin Kurz of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Karlsson should be considered day-to-day at this point for Thursday's clash with Washington. Whenever the Swedish blueliner is reinserted into the lineup, it will likely mark the end of Radim Simek's time in the lineup, though Tim Heed could also be a candidate for the press box.

Karlsson is suffering from a lower-body injury and remains day-to-day, Paul Gackle of the Bay Area News Group reports.

EDGE Analysis

The news effectively rules Karlsson out for Monday's clash with Vancouver, but at least clarifies that the elite defenseman is not still suffering from an illness that previously kept him out of the lineup. The club is clearly taking a cautious approach with the Swede and appears to be in no rush to get him back into the lineup. Once cleared to play, the 28-year-old figures to get back to logging big minutes for the club, he's currently averaging 24:59 of ice time, which will undoubtedly include power-play minutes.

Karlsson (illness) won't be available for Saturday's road matchup with Edmonton, Kevin Kurz of the Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kurz adds that Karlsson may or may not rejoin the team for Monday's game in Vancouver. As it stands, Karlsson hasn't suited up since Jan. 16 with the exception of the Jan. 26 All-Star Game. The productive blueliner missed the last three games prior to the All-Star break due to a lower-body injury, and has been unavailable post-break due to an illness.

Karlsson (illness) will sit out again Thursday against the Flames, Kevin Kurz of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Thursday marks Karlsson's sixth consecutive absence. After stumbling out of the gates with losses to the Lightning and Panthers in the first two games without him, San Jose has righted the ship with three straight wins. Still, the Sharks' brass is likely itching to get back the star blueliner, who owns 43 points -- three goals and 40 assists -- through 47 games. Coach Peter DeBoer still believes Karlsson will return during the road trip, with Karlsson's next opportunity arising Saturday against the Oilers.
