With Karlsson's multi-assist outing in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime victory against Minnesota, the blueliner hit 60 helpers on the year -- a milestone only four other defensemen have reached in the past 20 seasons.
EDGE Analysis
Karlsson is amongst elite company -- Nicklas Lidstrom, Brian Leetch, Ray Bourque and Paul Coffey -- and he's just 25 years old. The superstar blueliner should easily surpass his career high of 78 points in a single campaign, sitting at 73 but still maintaining a point-per-game pace with 11 games left. It's a year of milestones for the Swede -- enjoy the ride as the season winds down.
