Sharks' Lucas Carlsson: Two points in return to NHL

Carlsson scored a goal on two shots, added an assist and went plus-2 in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Bruins.

Carlsson made his first NHL appearance since early in the 2022-23 campaign with the Panthers. The 27-year-old defenseman last got on the scoresheet in an NHL game the year before that, but he made the most of his Sharks debut with the game-winning tally at 16:37 of the third period, as well as a helper on Barclay Goodrow's empty-netter. Carlsson could stick with the big club while Henry Thrun (upper body) and Marc-Edouard Vlasic (upper body) are on the mend. Even with Saturday's impressive performance, Carlsson is unlikely to be much of an option for fantasy managers, given his limited track record.
