Karlsson provided an assist and went minus-2 in Saturday's 6-2 loss to the Avalanche.

EDGE Analysis

Karlsson saw 19:09 of ice time in his return from a six-game absence in the league's COVID-19 protocols. He's now collected seven points, 16 shots on net and six blocked shots through eight appearances. The emergence of Mario Ferraro as a do-it-all blueliner in Karlsson's absence could result in the latter seeing fewer minutes going forward, though he could score his way back into a more prominent role.
