Karlsson lit the lamp on eight shots, adding two assists and a plus-3 rating during Wednesday's 5-4 overtime against the Maple Leafs.

EDGE Analysis

Besides having his troubles with young star Auston Matthews, it was business as usual for Karlsson on Opening Night. The Swedish superstar maintained a point-per-game pace with ease last season, kicking off 2016-17 with a bang and ensuring you were correct in choosing him as the No. 1 blueliner off the board. Despite early talks of limiting shift times, the 26-year-old was on ice for 27:36, easily the highest on the team. The 2008 No. 15 pick dropped 82 points last season, but something tells us we haven't seen the best of Karlsson just yet. Expect fireworks from the stud throughout the year.
