After a relatively slow start, Erik Karlsson is red-hot. In fact, his 17 points lead NHL defensemen. He scored two goals on Tuesday to extend his point streak to five games (four tallies, five assists for nine points). In that span he's fired 7, 8 and 9 SOG, showing the form that made him someone people considered making a first-round pick.
