William Karlsson scored a shorthanded goal on three shots, added an assist, went plus-2 and blocked two shots in Saturday's 7-3 win over the Sharks.Karlsson missed the first eight games of the season due to an undisclosed injury. The center slotted in on the third line and second power-play unit, logging 13:58 of ice time, though he'll likely see more minutes once he's up to speed.
