Karlsson suffered an upper-body injury Tuesday versus the Red Wings, but he's expected to be fine for Thursday's game versus the Sabres, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports.

EDGE Analysis

Karlsson missed a few shifts in the third period but ultimately returned to Tuesday's contest. The 31-year-old's status for Thursday will likely be determined in the coming days, though he may try to play through it as the Sharks are thin on the blue line.
