Karlsson (undisclosed) will suit up for Game 5 on Saturday against the Rangers, TSN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Coach Guy Boucher told reporters following Thursday's contest that Karlson could have played the third period, but the team made the decision to keep him out of the lineup. The defenseman has been held off the scoresheet in back-to-back contests after having racked up a goal and seven helpers in his previous eight games. The Sens are back home Saturday, which has been the key to this series thus far, so perhaps the 26-year-old can get back on track.
