Karlsson went plus-4 with an even-strength assist in Game 3 on Wednesday, helping his team to a 5-1 win over the Penguins to the sheer delight of the home crowd.

EDGE Analysis

Karlsson was a force on both ends of the ice and even found time to mock Sidney Crosby for his habitual on-ice huddles with teammates. The Swedish blueliner has averaged 26:40 of ice time in the active series, holding strong in spite of two hairline fractures in his heel that presumably will require attention in the offseason.
