Karlsson acknowledged that he played through an injury since around December, but didn't reveal the nature of the injury, TSN reports.

Analysis:

Karlsson said that he won't need surgery to address the injury, and with the Senators now eliminated from the playoffs, he'll have plenty of time to rest up and recover. The blueliner isn't in danger of missing training camp and should remain active on the award circuit over the next several weeks. After tallying 21 goals and 66 points during the regular season, Karlsson was announced as a finalist for the Norris Trophy -- the chief honor among what figures to be a host of award nominations for the 24-year-old star.
