Karlsson added two assists from the back end in Saturday's 7-2 rout of the Oilers. He also skated to a plus-2 and took two shots on goal.Karlsson is up to 40 points on the year, one shy of Bobby Ryan for the team lead. More importantly, though -- can you believe this guy has 200 (!) shots on goal? That's fifth in the entire NHL, and while it'd be nice if he had converted more than 13 of those into goals, Karlsson is an absolute godsend in leagues that count SOG.

Karlsson sniped a goal and added an assist in Saturday's 7-2 thrashing of the Coyotes. He also skated to a plus-3 rating.
Karlsson was one of six (!) Senators to post a multi-point effort in this one, and is now up to 12 goals, 23 assists and a whopping 184 shots on goal this year. Despite the fact that Ottawa is 11 points out of a playoff spot and doesn't have the most prolific offense, Karlsson is still an elite d-man and should be deployed regularly in all leagues.

Karlsson scored two goals in Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Maple Leafs.
He's not quite on the same scoring pace he was last season, but Karlsson has racked up four points in his last four games, and remains one of the elite fantasy defensemen in the entire league.

Karlsson notched his eighth goal of the season in Thursday's win over the Canadiens.
Karlsson is due to finish well south of last season's astounding 74-point output, but he still unquestionably ranks as one of the best fantasy blueliners. Once he begins to notice an uptick in his 5.0 shooting percentage (his career mark is 6.8%), Karlsson should notice a rise in his point totals in the second half of the season.

Karlsson was credited for an assist and drew three infractions that yielded a total of six PIM in Sunday's loss to the Lightning.
The penalty minutes marked a season-best for Karlsson, while the assist allowed him to improve his point streak to three games. The blueliner remains stuck in a bit of a goal slump with no markers since Dec. 7, despite attempting 37 shots during that time. That has resulted in his shooting percentage to drop to 5.0 percent, well below his career mark of 6.8 percent. Twenty goals and 70 points might not be in the works for Karlsson for a second consecutive season, but he's due to tickle the twine sooner or later.

Karlsson dished out two helpers Monday as the Sens beat the visiting Sabres 5-2.
The captain had gone pointless over his last three games but got back into the thick of things in this one, setting up two thirds of Bobby Ryan's hat trick. Karlsson's up to seven goals and 25 points in 36 games this season, and although his minus-11 rating is disappointing, he's more than made up for it with an insane 138 shots on net, good for fourth overall in the NHL.

Karlsson now has points in two straight games after being held off the scoresheet in his previous three game. The 24-year-old has seven goals and 23 points in 32 games on the season, to go with a minus-12 rating. He sits second in the NHL with 124 shots on goal and is one of the best offensive defenseman in the game. Keep him rolling.

Karlsson scored the overtime-winner and had eight shots on goal in Sunday's win over Vancouver.
A clutch effort from Karlsson, who now has a point in three straight games and is up to 20 points (seven goals) in 27 games on the season. While he may be hard-pressed to match last season's 74 points, Karlsson should still net 20 goals in 2014-15. He's one of the best fantasy defensemen around. You know what to do.
