Erik Karlsson is on a mission to lead the league in assists, even if it means setting up the opposition.
The Ottawa Senators captain collected his unofficial 55th assist of the year Saturday, placing a puck on to the tape of Detroit Red Wings forward Andreas Athanasiou for an easy one-timer goal.

Things didn't get any better for Karlsson as the second period wore on, as he redirected a Brad Richards shot past Ottawa goaltender Craig Anderson.
