Karlsson was named to Sweden's roster for the upcoming 2016 World Cup.

EDGE Analysis

In the 2014 Olympics, Ottawa's captain appeared in six games for Sweden, scoring four goals and adding four helpers to maintain a plus-5 rating. Karlsson is having an exceptional year for the Senators with 68 points to date, and he should pass his career-high of 78 before the end of the season. The 25-year-old deserves this selection and should represent his country well in the upcoming international competition.
