Karlsson (foot) will return to action for Game 1 against the Bruins on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Karlsson missed five of the Senators' final seven games of the season, but will be ready in time for the playoffs. Getting back its leading scorer -- 71 points on the year -- should boost Ottawa's chances of defeating Boston in their opening-round series. The blueliner will almost certainly pick up where he left off -- six points in his last six appearances -- and might be considered a lock in most playoff pools and daily contests.
