Karlsson distributed an assist in Sunday's 6-3 loss against the Jets.
Karlsson picked up a primary helper on Lars Eller's second-period marker. Karlsson has garnered one goal, four assists, 13 shots, nine blocks, five takeaways and a minus-3 rating over seven games. The 34-year-old's five points lead Pittsburgh's blueliners, and his 22:26 of ice time per game trails only Kris Letang (22:51). Karlsson will look to net his first even-strength goal of the season against Calgary on Tuesday.
