Erik Karlsson News: Earns 700th career assist
Karlsson registered an assist and three shots on goal in Saturday's 6-5 win over the Rangers.
The helper was Karlsson's 700th career assist. The 35-year-old defenseman reached the 900-point mark earlier in January, putting him within 100 points of becoming the ninth defenseman in NHL history to record 1,000 regular-season points. The assist was Karlsson's first point in four contests since he returned from a lower-body injury. He's at 34 points, 100 shots on net, 42 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating over 48 appearances this season.
