Carlsson logged an assist in Wednesday's 3-2 overtime win over the Sharks.
EDGE Analysis
Carlsson set up Troy Terry's game-tying goal late in the third period. With four assists over eight games since returning from a knee injury, Carlsson has been solid but not outstanding. The 19-year-old will get a chance to rest over the next week before resuming his rookie season after the bye week. He has 19 points, 64 shots on net and a minus-6 rating through 31 appearances, and he should be an everyday player the rest of the way.

He's played in all four of the Ducks' games since he returned from a knee injury, and those came in a pair of back-to-back sets. Carlsson has eight goals, 10 assists, 54 shots on net and a minus-6 rating over 27 contests.

Carlsson notched an assist and two shots on goal in Saturday's 5-3 loss to the Sharks.
EDGE Analysis
The assist was Carlsson's first point in three games since he returned from a knee injury. The 19-year-old was initially expected to miss 4-6 weeks with the injury, but he came back in three weeks. He's also played in a back-to-back since his return, which suggests the Ducks are loosening the reins on their prized rookie for the remainder of the campaign. Carlsson has 16 points, 51 shots on net and a minus-7 rating over 26 appearances and should see top-six minutes and power-play time going forward.

Carlsson sustained a right MCL sprain Thursday and will be out for 4-6 weeks.
EDGE Analysis
Carlsson , who was injured late in Thursday's 3-0 loss to the Flames. will likely be out until the middle of January in a best-case scenario. Given how the Ducks have managed Carlsson's workload so far, they will likely take the utmost caution when getting him back up to speed. Trevor Zegras (lower body) will return to a top-six role Saturday versus the Kraken and will likely stay there with Carlsson out.
