Karlsson (undisclosed) returned home from Ottawa's road trip, ruling him out for Saturday's game against the Jets, Don Brennan of the Ottawa Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

Karlsson is one of the top offensive defensemen in the NHL, so his absence is a blow to the Senators, and to fantasy owners as well. Considering Karlsson has flown home it seems unlikely he will play Monday in Detroit as well. That makes Tuesday's home game a more likely return date for Karlsson.
