What’s Behind Erik Karlsson’s Decline? | SJHN+
There’s reason to believe that Erik Karlsson can bounce back offensively next year.
Yesterday, with the help of SPORTLOGiQ, I highlighted a number of key areas where Karlsson was as dangerous as ever this season.
In short, there’s good evidence that Karlsson had an underlying offensive impact similar to recent years — he just didn’t enjoy the results this time around.
It could be an outlier, a one-year thing. Karlsson registered 0.42 Points Per Game in 2020-21, the worst of his career. From 2011-20, his lowest mark in a season was 0.71 PPG.
That said, you can’t look at the bright side with everything Karlsson-related last year.
There’s plenty to worry about with Karlsson: According to SPORTLOGiQ, this is where the San Jose Sharks should be most concerned.
