Karlsson sets Senators' career record for goals by a defenseman

Marc DesRosiers / USA TODAY Sports

Ho-Hum, another two-point night for Ottawa Senators defenseman Erik Karlsson.

Tuesday's multi-point effort versus the Arizona Coyotes - a 7-4 win - marked extra significance, though, as the 26-year-old set the franchise record for goals by a defenseman with his 102nd career tally.

Karlsson surpassed Wade Redden, who was with the club for 11 seasons.

It's safe to assume Karlsson will increase the margin rather substantially over the course of his career.
