William Karlsson News

Karlsson has not played yet this season after being injured late in the preseason. He has miss the first seven games of the season, will miss an eighth, but should make his season debut in game nine on Saturday against the San Jose Sharks. The 31-year-old Karlsson had 30 goals and 60 points in 70 games played in 2023-24.

Karlsson has not played yet this season after being injured late in the preseason. He has miss the first six games of the season and miss at least a seventh, but could return to the lineup on Friday against the Ottawa Senators. The 31-year-old Karlsson had 30 goals and 60 points in 70 games played in 2023-24.

After missing the Golden Knights' preseason finale, Karlsson was originally expected to be ready for their season opener. The 31-year-old Karlsson had 30 goals and 60 points in 70 games played in 2023-24.

Karlsson skated on his own on Friday but will miss Vegas' preseason finale which leaves his status for the Golden Knights' opener as questionable. Vegas does not start their season until Wednesday, so head coach Bruce Cassidy hopes Karlsson will be able to return to practice in time to play. The 31-year-old had 30 goals and 60 points in 70 games played in 2023-24.

Karlsson has been hampered by an undisclosed injury during training camp but head coach Bruce Cassidy said that they are hopeful that he'll return to practice later this week. As of now, the Golden Knights are expecting him to be in the lineup when they start their season on October 9th.

Karlsson missed all but one game in January (12 total) due to a lower-body injury but was a full participant in practice Sunday and is expected to play on Tuesday. The 31-year-old is having his best season in Vegas since his historical inaugural campaign with the team in 2017-18 as he has 15 goals, 32 points, 93 SOG, and a +10 plus/minus in 38 games before his injury.

Karlsson will miss at least the next two games as he tends to a lower-body injury. He played 18:36 time-on-ice in the Golden Knights 3-0 loss at the hands of the Seattle Kraken at the Winter Classic on Monday. Karlsson was previously occupying the center-ice position on the third line between Paul Cotter and Michael Amadio.

Karlsson missed the last eight games with a broken finger but is expected to play tomorrow in Minnesota. At Monday's practice, Karlsson centred the Golden Knights' third line and top power-play. He returns with 10 goals and 24 assists (34 points) in 49 games this season.

Karlsson has missed just two games over the last four and a half years and has never missed a game in a Vegas uniform until tonight. Karlsson will miss at least a couple of weeks and Paul Stastny is the most likely candidate to move into the top-6.

In his second season with the Golden Knights, Karlsson expectedly saw his shooting percentage drop from 23.4% to 14.2% which led to him scoring just 24 goals with 32 assists (56 points) in 82 games. Over the last two seasons, Karlsson ranks 17th in goals (67) and tied for 45th in points (134). His new cap-hit is the same last Jonathan Huberdeau and Aleksander Barkov, which is tied for 109th highest in the NHL—extremely reasonable for a player who is in the top-50 in scoring.

Karlsson had one goal and one assist in three games with the Blue Jackets during his call-up.
