Erik Karlsson | Fantasy Outlook

Erik Karlsson remains a high-end offensive blueliner anchoring Pittsburgh's power play

Erik Karlsson enters his age-36 campaign coming off a strong 69-point season in Pittsburgh, where he posted 16 goals, 53 assists, and 28 power-play points across 82 games. Retaining his top-pair blueline role, Karlsson continues to generate steady shot volume and elite playmaking, directing the Penguins' transition attack.

Our season projection forecasts 15 goals, 51 assists, 66 points, and 26 power-play points across 75 games. While his physical peripheral coverage is modest with just 20 hits and 64 blocked shots, his primary power-play deployment and heavy minutes provide bankable offensive upside across standard scoring leagues.

Drafted around pick 110, Karlsson offers significant value for managers seeking high-end blueline scoring and assist depth in the middle rounds. As long as he stays healthy and quarterbacks the top unit, he projects as a reliable fantasy starter on defense.
