EDGE Analysis

The veteran rearguard had the secondary helper on Evgeni Malkin's opening goal in the second period, Karlsson's first point as a member of the Penguins after going scoreless Tuesday against the Blackhawks. The defenseman finished with a plus-1, with three shots on goal and one blocked shot in his 21:46 of ice time. He'll look to keep up the good work Saturday against the Flames.
