Sharks' Melker Karlsson: Back in lineup Tuesday
Karlsson (lower body) will rejoin the lineup Tuesday against the Rangers, CSN Bay Area reports.
Analysis:
Karlsson hasn't played since March 11, but returns at a key point with a plethora of other forwards unavailable for Tuesday's tilt. He will reportedly flank Patrick Marleau and Mikkel Boedker on the second line during the tilt, but doesn't provide a ton of fantasy upside from a season-long perspective. He does serve as a sneaky daily option with his potential for a fair amount of ice time, but isn't guaranteed a spot on the man advantage.
