2025 Fantasy Outlook
Karlsson got his feet wet in the NHL last season, posting just three goals and three assists in 27 games with the Canucks. However, down in the AHL playoffs, he turned heads as he led Abbotsford in scoring (26 points in 24 games) during their run to the Calder Cup Finals. His NHL advanced stats (7.16 HDCF per 60, 1.43 ixG per 60) suggest there may be more under the hood than the surface numbers showed. If he can earn the trust of new head coach Adam Foote, Karlsson could carve out a regular role in Vancouver this season. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a one-year, $775,000 contract extension with the Canucks in March of 2025.
Tallies opening goal in win
CVancouver Canucks
November 26, 2025
Karlsson scored a goal on three shots and added two PIM in Wednesday's 5-4 win over the Ducks.
ANALYSIS
Karlsson opened the scoring midway through the first period. The 26-year-old continues to show growth on offense this season with four goals and a helper over his last eight games. For the year, he's at four goals, eight points, 33 shots on net, 24 hits, 16 PIM and a minus-4 rating through 21 appearances. Karlsson's ice time still often remains limited -- he had just 6:49 in this contest -- but he's making the most of his minutes.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Closing on deal with Vancouver
CVancouver Canucks
May 26, 2022
Karlsson is expected to sign a two-year contract with the Canucks, Rick Dhaliwal of TSN 1040 Vancouver reports Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Karlsson is coming off a fantastic season in Sweden in which he racked up 26 goals and 20 assists in 52 games for Skelleftea AIK, resulting in him being named rookie of the year in the SHL. It's hard to imagine the Canucks will stick Karlsson in the minors given his offensive upside, so fantasy players may expect to see him on the 23-man roster for Opening Night of the 2022-23 campaign.
