Karlsson picked up an assist and a couple penalty minutes in Thursday's loss to the Panthers.

EDGE Analysis

The assists just keep on piling up for the NHL's top blueliner -- he hasn't scored a goal since Dec. 20, but has tallied six assists in the seven games since. No defenseman has broken 80 points since Nicklas Lidstrom posted exactly that many in 2005-06, but Karlsson's in position to do just that. That's quite the achievement in this era of reduced offense.
