Erik Karlsson has a chance of surpassing Nicklas Lidstrom's all-time record for the most points in a single season by a Swedish defenseman.
Karlsson has 76 points in 76 contests, which is just four shy of Lidstrom's 80-point 2005-06 campaign. Of course, if Karlsson falls short of that mark, there's always next season. Karlsson has established himself as the best offensive defenseman in the NHL today and he should be an ideal fantasy player for years to come.
