Erik Karlsson Reaches 80 Points
2 years agoSan Jose Sharks defenseman Erik Karlsson reached a special achievement in Saturday's 8-3 loss to Washington, becoming the first active defenseman to record two 80-point seasons. He got there by dishing out two assists, one on the power play. Karlsson is also now the 10th blue-liner in NHL history to hit the 60-assist mark in 63 or fewer games in a season. It's been a monster year for the Swedish rearguard, and it's incredible to think that he is dominating the scoring charts among defensemen despite playing on one of the worst teams in the league. Winnipeg's Josh Morrissey is placed second behind him with 66 points.
