Harkins picked up an assist in Monday's 4-1 win over the Flyers.

EDGE Analysis

Harkins' shot attempt went wide only for Erik Karlsson to take control of the puck and fire one home to give the Penguins an early 2-0 lead. Interestingly enough, Harkins has gone from habitually jumping between the minors and the NHL earlier in the season to sharing the ice with high-profile defensemen like Karlsson in the latest tilt. However, the 26-year-old pivot remains on the fourth line and he's more of a stopgap option with Matt Nieto (knee) expected to miss 6-to-8 weeks.
