Karlsson set up three of his squad's five goals, but his team still fell short in a 6-5 loss to Winnipeg on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

If this was the last time that Karlsson will play in Ottawa in a Senators sweater, he certainly went out on a high note, showing the offensive prowess that has made him one of the most feared two-way players in the world. The Senators close the year with three road games, after which they face an offseason where Karlsson will be the subject of trade rumors following a tumultuous trade deadline.

Karlsson (personal) will return to the lineup Tuesday evening against the Islanders, Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Swedish superstar has played in one of three games since the tragic announcement that his son had been stillborn.

Karlsson will not travel with the team to play the Hurricanes on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Though a specific reason was not given with this news, it may be related the personal tragedy Karlsson suffered recently that kept him out of two games. Though he did return Saturday to play the Hurricanes at home, perhaps he's not ready to hit the road to play hockey just yet. If that is the case, there is a chance he will play at home Tuesday against the Islanders.

Karlsson (personal) will rejoin the lineup for Saturday against the Hurricanes., Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

Karlsson will rejoin the lineup with a heavy heart, playing in his first game since the death of his son. With Marion Gaborik (undisclosed) unavailable Saturday, the star blueliner will be one of seven defensemen in the Senators' lineup for the matchup against the Hurricanes.

Karlsson (personal) will not play Tuesday and remains without a timetable to return, TSN 1200 Ottawa reports.

EDGE Analysis

Given that Karlsson is dealing with a death in the family, the team will give their star blueliner all the time he needs. Expect another update from the Senators when he has rejoined the club.

Karlsson and his wife are coping with the death of their son, Sportsnet reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Senators will surely give Karlsson all the time he needs during an incredibly difficult time for him and his family.

Karlsson (illness) will not play in Tuesday's game against the Panthers, Brent Wallace of TSN.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

Karlsson continues to battle a bug that sidelined him from Monday's practice session, leaving him unavailable for the evening's contest against the Panthers. The star blueliner's absence leaves the Senators with a gaping hole to fill in the back end. Patrick Sieloff was promoted from AHL Belleville on Tuesday to take his spot in the lineup, but it will be impossible for Ottawa to replace Karlsson's 56 points -- eight goals and 48 assists -- through 66 games.

Karlsson "wasn't feeling good" and missed Monday's practice session, Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

Karlsson's status versus the Panthers on Tuesday is up in the air. If the Swede is unable to give it a go, the Sens would need to call up a player from the minors in order to fill out the roster. Since the trade deadline, the blueliner has been lights out with 14 points in 10 games, along with 28 shots, 19 blocks and four PIM. As soon as the 2017-18 season wraps up, the rumor mill will once again start circulating regarding Karlsson's future in Ottawa.

Karlsson had two assists and two shots on net in a 3-2 overtime win against the Stars on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Karlsson has had some struggles, and injuries, this season, but you wouldn't know it by his recent play. The Swede has 14 points over his last nine games. He also has 48 assists in 65 games, putting him on pace to notch 50 helpers once again. For a defenseman, that's amazing.

Karlsson scored an unassisted goal and added an assist during Tuesday's 7-4 win over Tampa Bay.

EDGE Analysis

This was the fifth multi-point showing through eight games for Karlsson, and he's now up to nine goals and 47 assists through 64 contests for the campaign. Fantasy players often overlook his contributions in the shot (172) and blocked shot (106) columns, which are particularly valuable in daily contests and make him a high-floor, high-ceiling option. It's also pretty clear that any potential off-ice distractions aren't impacting Karlsson's fantasy upside.
