Erik Karlsson expects to be 100 percent when the regular season begins. He is currently in Sweden where he is participating in some Olympic training. He spoke with Swedish reporter Marie Lehmann and said that even though he isn't fully back to normal yet, he feels he will be ready by the time Ottawa plays at Buffalo on Oct. 4 in their 2013-14 opener. Karlsson missed most of the lockout-shortened campaign because of severed Achilles tendon.
