Karlsson (lower body) is not expected back before the March 6 trade deadline, SinBin Vegas reports Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Karlsson could be in danger of missing the rest of the season, and it appears surgery has not been ruled out. If the team does officially shut the 33-year-old center down, it would be able to get the full relief from his $5.9 million cap hit. If this does mark the end of his season, Karlsson will finish the year having generated four goals and three assists in 14 contests.

Karlsson (lower body) is not expected to be available for Sweden's Olympic roster, Darren Dreger of TSN reports Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

While this isn't an official update on his status from the Golden Knights, it's safe to assume he won't be back on the NHL roster until after the Olympics as well. Karlsson has already missed nearly two months and looks to be out for another two months at a minimum due to his lower-body injury. It was previously reported that he was expected to be back before the Olympic break, but without an update from Vegas, his timeline to return remains murky.

Karlsson (lower body) is set to return prior to the Olympic break, Sin Bin Vegas reports Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Karlsson may be in danger of missing the Olympic tournament if Sweden doesn't keep a roster spot open for him. The Knights didn't provide a more concrete recovery timeline for Karlsson, but mid-to-late January seems the most likely timeline to give him enough time to head to Milan.

Karlsson (lower body) was transferred from regular injured reserve to long-term injured reserve on Friday, per PuckPedia.

EDGE Analysis

Karlsson has already missed the required amount of time, so he'll be eligible for activation whenever ready. The 32-year-old center was deemed week-to-week in mid-November, and there's been no update on his status since then. This move will free up some cap space for the Golden Knights.

Karlsson (lower body) is week-to-week, the team announced Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Karlsson has four goals and seven points in 14 appearances this season. Braeden Bowman was summoned from AHL Henderson on Wednesday and might play regularly during Karlsson's absence.

Karlsson (lower body) was designated for injured reserve Wednesday, per Sin Bin Vegas.

EDGE Analysis

Based on the retroactive designation, Karlsson will have to miss at least the next two games, though with a back-to-back on Saturday and Sunday against the Blues and Wild, respectively, it seems more likely that a return will come closer to Tuesday's clash with the Rangers.

Karlsson (lower body) won't play against Florida on Monday, according to SinBin Vegas.

EDGE Analysis

Karlsson will miss at least one game after getting hurt in Saturday's 4-3 overtime loss to Anaheim. However, it's unclear when he will be ready to return. Karlsson has earned four goals, seven points, 30 shots on net and 13 blocked shots through 14 appearances this season. With Karlsson unavailable to play versus the Panthers, Brett Howden will occupy the third-line center role in Monday's lineup.

Karlsson sustained a lower-body injury versus the Ducks on Saturday, Jesse Granger of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Head coach Bruce Cassidy estimated that Karlsson is in the day-to-day range, but any official update won't come until Monday at the earliest, as the Golden Knights will not practice Sunday. That leaves Karlsson in doubt -- but not yet ruled out -- for Monday's contest versus the Panthers. Alexander Holtz is likely to enter the lineup if Karlsson can't play, while Brett Howden would likely shift from the wing to center.

Karlsson (undisclosed) won't return to Saturday's game versus the Ducks, Ryan Wallis of Fox Sports Las Vegas reports.

EDGE Analysis

It's unclear what Karlsson's injury is because it wasn't noticeable during the game. The 32-year-old center is a key part of the Golden Knights' middle six, which would make him a tough loss if he's out for any time. Alexander Holtz would likely enter the lineup if Karlsson misses action, though the team might also want to add a forward from AHL Henderson for depth purposes.

Karlsson scored a goal, fired two shots on net and blocked two attempts in Sunday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Lightning.

EDGE Analysis

Karlsson's tally was the lone twine finder of the weekend for Vegas, as the offense only had one goal to show after being shut out by the Florida Panthers Saturday. The 32-year-old center is up to four goals, five points, 20 shots on net and 10 blocks through nine appearances. Karlsson has dealt with injuries each of the last two seasons, with his point total being capped at 29 tallies through 53 regular-season games a year ago. He is already well above the necessary pace to top that mark, and his additional category coverage makes him a solid fantasy option in a majority of league formats.
