Sharks' Lucas Carlsson: Nabs helper in shootout win
Rotowire
Carlsson logged an assist, four PIM and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 6-5 shootout win over the Maple Leafs.
Carlsson has three points over two contests with the Sharks. He set up Tyler Toffoli's opening goal at 7:50 of the first period in this game. Carlsson is getting a chance to audition for an NHL job next season -- he's already under contract for 2025-26, but he's on a two-way deal, which makes it more palatable for him to be stashed in the AHL. Even if he stays with the Sharks for the rest of the season, fantasy managers should remain cautious, as it's unlikely he can keep up this scoring pace.

Sharks' Lucas Carlsson: Two points in return to NHL
Rotowire
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.

Sharks' Lucas Carlsson: Joining NHL roster
Rotowire
Carlsson was promoted from AHL San Jose on Friday.
Carlsson's addition to the roster comes as Jimmy Schuldt was sent down in a corresponding move. The 27-year-old Carlsson hasn't appeared in an NHL game since the 2022-23 campaign when he was with the Panthers. Unless Marc-Edouard Vlasic (upper body) is cleared to play against the Bruins on Saturday, Carlsson figures to slot into a third-pairing role.

Rotowire
Carlsson was recalled from AHL Charlotte on Saturday, George Richards of Florida Hockey Now reports.
Carlsson was sent to Charlotte on April 25. He had three goals and six points in seven AHL playoff games during his short stint with the Checkers. The 25-year-old defenseman had a productive regular season with Charlotte, racking up 20 goals and 34 assists in 61 games. Carlsson was pointless in two NHL games this season.

Panthers' Lucas Carlsson: Returns to AHL
Rotowire
Carlsson was assigned to AHL Charlotte on Tuesday.
Carlsson sat as a healthy scratch in Sunday's 6-2 loss to the Bruins following his recall from the minors. Aaron Ekblad (undisclosed) is expected to return to the lineup Wednesday in Game 5, which will presumably bump Casey Fitzgerald back to the press box.

Rotowire
Carlsson was reassigned to the AHL on Thursday.
Carlsson has no points, two shots, a block and three hits in two games with Florida this season. He might find himself back with the Panthers later in 2022-23, but it will probably only be as a depth option.

Panthers' Lucas Carlsson: Promoted from AHL
Rotowire
Carlsson was recalled by the Panthers on Wednesday.

Panthers' Lucas Carlsson: Signs two-way deal
Rotowire

Panthers' Lucas Carlsson: Tallies in rout
Rotowire
Carlsson supplied a goal in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Red Wings.
The Panthers have Carlsson working on the third defensive pair, but he's starting 63.6 of his shifts in the offensive zone, which keeps him from being completely irrelevant in fantasy leagues. The 24-year-old has contributed three goals and six assists through 32 games, which is a solid line for a guy averaging 12:22 of ice time.

Panthers' Lucas Carlsson: Sparks comeback with first NHL goal
Rotowire
Carlsson scored his first NHL goal and added an assist in Thursday's 7-4 win over Buffalo.
Carlsson was the unlikely source of the spark the Panthers needed to come back from an early 3-0 deficit. He got them on the scoresheet in the second with his first goal in 26 career NHL appearances, and the 24-year-old blueliner notched another milestone just 2:35 later, logging his first multi-point game thanks to an assist on Sam Reinhart's goal. Carlsson came into this one with just three points in 25 games spread across three seasons, so expectations should remain tempered moving forward, but he had a night he'll never forget.

Panthers' Lucas Carlsson: Brought up to NHL
Rotowire
Carlsson was recalled from AHL Charlotte on Sunday.
The 24-year-old hasn't done much at the NHL level, posting two points in 18 games with Chicago over the last two seasons. Carlsson is off to a great start with AHL Charlotte this year, though, with six points in eight games, so it wouldn't be surprising if he made his Panthers debut soon.

Panthers' Lucas Carlsson: Grabs one-year pact
Rotowire
Carlsson penned a one-year, two-way contract with Florida on Monday.
Carlsson saw action in 12 games with the Blackhawks this season in which he garnered one assist, 10 shots and six hits while averaging 13:04 of ice time. After being acquired by the Panthers at the trade deadline, the blueliner went unused on the NHL roster but evidently showed the organization enough to stick around longer. Given his two-way deal, fantasy players should be expecting Carlsson to split time between the AHL and NHL this year.

Rotowire

Panthers' Lucas Carlsson: Traded to Florida
Rotowire
Carlsson was traded to the Panthers along with Lucas Wallmark in exchange for Brett Connolly, Riley Stillman, Henrik Borgstrom and a seventh-round pick Thursday, Pierre LeBrun of The Athletic reports.
The Panthers primarily made this move to get Connolly's $3.5 million cap hit off their books. Carlsson has only appeared in 12 games with Chicago this season, picking up one helper over that span. He'll likely report to Florida's AHL affiliate and may not see much NHL action down the stretch.
