Rotowire
Carlsson notched two assists and 15 PIM in Tuesday's 7-3 win over the Panthers.

Rotowire
Carlsson scored a goal on three shots and added two assists in Saturday's 7-6 overtime win over the Sharks.

He set up both of Chris Kreider's goals -- in the last minute of the second and third periods -- before tallying the game-winner himself 46 seconds into overtime. Fantasy managers who were worried about his quiet Opening Night effort (four shots, minus-2 rating) can breathe easy now. Carlsson is locked in as a top-six center with ice time in all situations.

The center is at 44 points (20 goals, 24 assists), 104 shots on net and a plus-9 rating over 73 appearances. He's a playmaker at heart, but he's shown a little bit of everything while headlining a growing core for the Ducks.
