EDGE Analysis

We're passing this along in case Karlsson's fantasy owners were concerned about the defenseman's lower-body injury, which had caused him to miss three straight games leading up to the break. "I know how much it means for this organization, the fan base and this community, so I was happy that I was able to do it, and get a few more days here now and hopefully be back after the break," Karlsson said, as relayed from Kevin Kurz of The Athletic. Since the two-time Norris Trophy winner was able to suit up for the All-Star Game, he should be ready for next Saturday's home game against the Coyotes as well.

Karlsson has missed the Sharks' last three games due to a lower-body injury, but the MRI he underwent Tuesday must have eliminated any lingering concerns that he may risk further injury by playing in the All-Star game.

Karlsson won't be back in action until after the combined All-Star break and bye week. The world-class blueliner may be stuck in a nine-game goal drought, but racked up 13 helpers over that stretch, including six with the man advantage, so fantasy owners probably aren't too worried. With the Swede sidelined, Marc-Edouard Vlasic (undisclosed) figures to be activated off injured reserve and could suit up against the Panthers on Monday. In order to make room on the 23-man roster, Karlsson will likely be designated for injured reserve, which won't affect his ability to play against the Coyotes on Feb. 2.
