Karlsson scored a power-play goal on two shots, added an assist, blocked two shots and went plus-2 in Thursday's 6-3 win over the Red Wings.

Karlsson and the rest of the Penguins were held off the scoresheet versus the Rangers on Wednesday, but the star defenseman was able to bounce back in the second game of the year. The 34-year-old was limited to 56 points in 82 appearances last season, and his 99 blocked shots were his most in six years. Karlsson's spot on the top power-play unit will give him a safe floor on offense as long as he can stay healthy.
