Karlsson scored a goal and an assist in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Sabres.

EDGE Analysis

The blueliner sent the game to OT with a third-period tally, his first goal of the year, but the Sharks couldn't find a winner in extra time. Karlsson is off to a great start offensively in his second campaign for San Jose with eight points through eight games, but his minus-8 rating is a reflection of the team's rough defensive performance to date.
