Karlsson picked up an assist Thursday in a 4-1 loss to the Panthers.
EDGE Analysis
The assist gave Karlsson 70 points on the season. He's the fastest NHL defenseman to hit the 70-point plateau in 33 years and the fourth to that mark in 53 games or fewer. That puts Karlsson in the class of -- sit down -- Bobby Orr, Paul Coffey and Denis Potvin. He's on track for 108 points this season, which would obliterate his previous career mark of 82 in as many games, set in 2015-16.

Karlsson tallied a goal and two assists in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime victory over the Lightning.
EDGE Analysis
Karlsson got San Jose on the board with a power-play goal in the first period, tieing the game 1-1. He'd pick up another power-play point with an assist on Timo Meier's tally in the second before setting up Meier again for the overtime winner. Karlsson now has seven points in his last four contests as his resurgent season continues. He's up to 17 goals and 52 assists through 52 games this season. The 32-year-old blueliner is one point shy of reaching the 70-point threshold for the fifth time in his career and the first time since the 2016-17 season.

Karlsson scored a goal and added an assist in Saturday's 6-4 win over Pittsburgh.
EDGE Analysis
Karlsson's Norris-caliber season continues. He has 16 goals and 50 assists in 51 games.

And his 66 points tie Karlsson with Matthew Tkachuk and Jason Robertson for sixth in the NHL.
