Erik Karlsson Expected To Be Available For Start Of Season
3 months agoPittsburgh Penguins defenseman Erik Karlsson (upper body) remains day-to-day but is expected to be available for the start of the 2024-25 campaign. Speaking about Karlsson and his status, Penguins head coach Mike Sullivan said, "Our team is working with him here, and I am confident that they will be successful." Karlsson hasn't managed to get any work in with his teammates in training camp, so he could be quite rusty when the regular season begins for Pittsburgh on Oct. 9 versus the New York Rangers. The three-time Norris Trophy winner had a disappointing campaign in 2023-24, but he could bounce back in a big way this season. Karlsson will be reunited with David Quinn, who squeezed out 101 points from him as the San Jose Sharks head coach in 2022-23.
