Golden Knights' William Karlsson: Is week-to-week
Karlsson (lower body) is week-to-week, the team announced Thursday.
Karlsson has four goals and seven points in 14 appearances this season. Braeden Bowman was summoned from AHL Henderson on Wednesday and might play regularly during Karlsson's absence.

Golden Knights' William Karlsson: Placed on IR
Karlsson (lower body) was designated for injured reserve Wednesday, per Sin Bin Vegas.
Based on the retroactive designation, Karlsson will have to miss at least the next two games, though with a back-to-back on Saturday and Sunday against the Blues and Wild, respectively, it seems more likely that a return will come closer to Tuesday's clash with the Rangers.

Golden Knights' William Karlsson: Unavailable Monday
Karlsson (lower body) won't play against Florida on Monday, according to SinBin Vegas.
Karlsson will miss at least one game after getting hurt in Saturday's 4-3 overtime loss to Anaheim. However, it's unclear when he will be ready to return. Karlsson has earned four goals, seven points, 30 shots on net and 13 blocked shots through 14 appearances this season. With Karlsson unavailable to play versus the Panthers, Brett Howden will occupy the third-line center role in Monday's lineup.

Golden Knights' William Karlsson: Dealing with lower-body injury
Karlsson sustained a lower-body injury versus the Ducks on Saturday, Jesse Granger of The Athletic reports.
Head coach Bruce Cassidy estimated that Karlsson is in the day-to-day range, but any official update won't come until Monday at the earliest, as the Golden Knights will not practice Sunday. That leaves Karlsson in doubt -- but not yet ruled out -- for Monday's contest versus the Panthers. Alexander Holtz is likely to enter the lineup if Karlsson can't play, while Brett Howden would likely shift from the wing to center.

Golden Knights' William Karlsson: Suffers injury Saturday
Karlsson (undisclosed) won't return to Saturday's game versus the Ducks, Ryan Wallis of Fox Sports Las Vegas reports.
It's unclear what Karlsson's injury is because it wasn't noticeable during the game. The 32-year-old center is a key part of the Golden Knights' middle six, which would make him a tough loss if he's out for any time. Alexander Holtz would likely enter the lineup if Karlsson misses action, though the team might also want to add a forward from AHL Henderson for depth purposes.

Golden Knights' William Karlsson: Nets lone goal
Karlsson scored a goal, fired two shots on net and blocked two attempts in Sunday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Lightning.
Karlsson's tally was the lone twine finder of the weekend for the Golden Knights, who were shut out by the Panthers on Saturday. The 32-year-old center is up to four goals, five points, 20 shots on net and 10 blocks through nine appearances. Karlsson has dealt with injuries each of the last two seasons, with his point total being capped at 29 through 53 regular-season games a year ago. He is already well above the necessary pace to top that mark, and his additional category coverage makes him a solid fantasy option in a majority of league formats.

Golden Knights' William Karlsson: Scores empty-netter
Karlsson scored an empty-net goal on two shots in Monday's 4-1 win over the Hurricanes.
Karlsson has earned all four of his points (three goals, one assist) this season over the last four games. His defensive duties are likely to increase while Mark Stone (wrist) is on injured reserve. Karlsson can handle a two-way role while playing on the third line. He's at four points, 18 shots on net, eight blocked shots and a minus-2 rating through seven appearances, production worthy of a look in deeper fantasy formats.

Golden Knights' William Karlsson: Shows special teams skills
Karlsson scored two goals, one while shorthanded and the other on the power play, in Thursday's 6-5 win over the Bruins.
Karlsson had the Golden Knights' last two goals, scoring a shortie late in the second period before his power-play game-winner early in the third. The 32-year-old can still play in all situations, though he's seen some reduced minutes at even strength and on the power play early this season. He's up to three points, 13 shots on net, six blocked shots and a minus-3 rating across five contests. Karlsson has scored at least one shorthanded goal in eight of the last nine seasons, and he now has more power-play tallies this year than he did in all of 2024-25.

Golden Knights' William Karlsson: Helps out on empty netter
Karlsson logged an assist in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Flames.
The helper was Karlsson's first point in four games this season. He's maintained a middle-six role, but he's not seeing prime chances as the third-line center and a member of the second power-play unit. Karlsson's defensive skills will keep him in a prominent role, but he's not expected to be a 50-point threat anymore.

Golden Knights' William Karlsson: One of each in win
Karlsson scored a goal on three shots, added an assist and went plus-3 in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Oilers in Game 3.
Karlsson gave the Golden Knights their first lead of Game 3 in the second period before setting up Reilly Smith for a last-second goal in the third for Vegas' first win in the series. Karlsson has four points over three contests in the second round, and he's at six points, 15 shots on net, six blocked shots and a plus-5 rating over nine playoff outings.

Golden Knights' William Karlsson: Scores in Game 2 loss
Karlsson scored a goal in Thursday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Oilers in Game 2.
Karlsson was officially back on the third line for this contest after a stint on the top line. However, his goal came on an assist from Jack Eichel late in the second period. Karlsson's a reliable veteran, so he should get his chances regardless of his place in the lineup. He's at two goals, two assists, 12 shots on net, six blocked shots and a plus-2 rating over eight playoff contests.

Golden Knights' William Karlsson: Garners power-play assist
Karlsson posted a power-play assist in Tuesday's 4-2 loss to the Oilers in Game 1.
Karlsson tipped a shot by Shea Theodore that then went in after another deflection from Mark Stone. Over seven playoff contests, Karlsson has three points, 11 shots on net, five blocked shots and a plus-2 rating. The natural center is currently playing on the top line as a left wing. He seems to be adjusting well, and that role gives him a bit more scoring upside as long as he doesn't get shuffled back to middle-six duties.

Golden Knights' William Karlsson: Opens scoring in win
Karlsson scored a shorthanded goal on two shots and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime win over the Wild in Game 5.
Karlsson capitalized on a feed from Jack Eichel to open the scoring at 8:25 of the first period. Both of Karlsson's points this postseason have come shorthanded. He's added nine shots on net, three blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating over five appearances. Karlsson was shuffled up to the top line for Tuesday's contest, and if that change sticks, he'll have a stronger scoring outlook.

Golden Knights' William Karlsson: Slings shorthanded helper
Karlsson logged a shorthanded assist in Thursday's 5-2 loss to the Wild in Game 3.
Karlsson set up Reilly Smith's tally in the third period, but the Golden Knights couldn't build on that goal. The helper was Karlsson's first point in three playoff outings. The center has added three shots on net and a minus-1 rating so far in the postseason after logging 29 points, 119 shots on net and a plus-17 rating over 53 regular-season appearances.

Golden Knights' William Karlsson: Contributes assist
Karlsson notched an assist and went plus-2 in Wednesday's 4-1 win over the Canucks.
Karlsson posted two goals and three assists over the last six games of the regular season. While injuries interrupted his 2024-25 campaign, Karlsson was decent when he played, earning 29 points, 119 shots on net, 37 blocked shots and a plus-17 rating over 53 appearances. The veteran center will likely play more of a two-way role in the postseason, likely on the third line, so his offense may not be very strong, but he'll make up for it with defensive effort.

Golden Knights' William Karlsson: Helps out on power play
Karlsson logged a power-play assist and three shots on goal in Saturday's 5-3 win over the Predators.
Karlsson extended his point streak to four games (two goals, two assists) with his first power-play point since March 28 versus the Blackhawks. The center is up to 28 points (seven on the power play), 115 shots on net, 35 blocked shots and a plus-15 rating over 51 appearances. Karlsson's spot on the first power-play unit is intriguing, though he'll likely lose it once Jack Eichel (upper body) is healthy.
