• Penguins' Erik Karlsson: Sets up Crosby's milestone marker

  2D ago • By RotoWire

  Karlsson produced an assist, three shots on goal and two hits in Saturday's 6-1 loss to Utah. Karlsson set up Sidney Crosby's 600th NHL goal. It's been a shaky month on offense for Karlsson, who has five points and a minus-7 rating across 11 contests in November amid the Penguins' well-documented struggles. The 34-year-old blueliner is at 12 points, 57 shots on net, 25 blocked shots and a minus-13 rating through 23 outings overall. He remains in a top-four role, and the offense alone is decent, but Karlsson's fantasy value depends on which categories you play.
