Latest news
Karlsson scored a goal and added four hits in Tuesday's 5-4 loss to the Ducks.
Karlsson had posted just one assist over his previous five games, and he hadn't taken a shot on net in the last two. The 26-year-old forward has turned into a decent depth scorer for the Canucks. He has four goals, six helpers, 29 shots on net, 17 hits and a minus-1 rating through 17 outings, mainly in a middle-six role.

Karlsson scored a goal on two shots, added two PIM and doled out two hits in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Hurricanes.
Karlsson has scored in consecutive contests, and he's on a three-game point streak. The 26-year-old winger has shuffled around the Canucks' lineup a bit this year, but he's currently in a top-six role, which should help his offense. He has three goals, five assists, 21 shots on net and a minus-1 rating across 11 appearances. Even on the Canucks, he's a viable depth option in some fantasy formats if he's going to see top-six minutes and power-play time.

Karlsson scored a goal Saturday in a 4-2 loss to Tampa Bay.
The young forward is taking another step after his 15-goal, 35-point season last year. Karlsson has two goals and five assists in 10 games. His 19 shots reflect an increased willingness to snipe, and at this rate, he'd deliver 160 on opposing netminders. His career mark is 116. Karlsson isn't going to make or break a fantasy roster, but he might help off the wire in the right situation.

Karlsson scored a power-play goal in Saturday's 4-1 loss to the Devils.
The 26-year-old opened the scoring early in the first period with a one-timer from the faceoff circle, but New Jersey dominated play the rest of the afternoon. Karlsson is coming off a solid first full season in the NHL in 2025-26, producing 15 goals and 35 points in 79 regular-season contests, and he's had a quick start to the current campaign with a goal and five points in six games.

Karlsson logged two assists, two shots on goal and a plus-3 rating in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Flames.
Karlsson was on the top line Saturday, which likely helped him break out for a multi-point game. He's earned three assists, five shots on net, two PIM and a minus-1 rating over three contests this season. The Canucks forward combinations are far from settled, so don't be surprised to see Karlsson bounce around the lineup, which could lead to swings in his production on offense.

Karlsson scored two goals on three shots in Saturday's 7-4 loss to the Mammoth.
Karlsson found the back of the net for the first time since March 19, when he scored a goal in a 6-2 loss to the Lightning. The 26-year-old forward recorded only one point in the seven games between the last two in which he scored, so he's been far from reliable in most fantasy formats. His bottom-six role in one of the worst offenses in the league doesn't really help his fantasy prospects, either. With 33 points (15 goals, 18 assists) in 73 games, Karlsson isn't much of a fantasy asset outside of the very deep formats.
