“Hope I get that opportunity…”

Leksand extended the winning streak beat AIK

Erik Karlsson is successful in the NHL and in his San Jose Sharks.
The Swede’s brilliance has made him the man of rumors – and he himself does not immediately quash rumors that a move could be in the offing.
– I want to win, and I hope I get that opportunity, says Karlsson cryptically.

Point production has been steady too Erik Karlsson this season, and it looks set to continue. The Swedish defender has so far accounted for 56 points, 13 goals and 43 assists, which makes him the defender who has scored by far the most points so far. During the night against Thursday in the meeting with the Philadelphia Flyers, there was another assist point.

The man of rumours

“Hard to say”

Karlsson also has to answer the question if he would take the chance to win a Stanley Cup title already this season if he could, to which the Swede answers somewhat cryptically.
– I think it is difficult to say who will win in the NHL, it is such a good league. All the teams are very even, I don’t think we are that far from a playoff spot. But at the same time, we are where we are right now, he says.
