Karlsson Addresses Penguins' Struggles, Cites Mindset as Key Issue

Pittsburgh Penguins defenseman Erik Karlsson, despite an outstanding season, has seen an increase in puck turnovers recently and is identified as part of the leadership group struggling during the team's five-game losing streak. He acknowledged the team's issues, stating after a recent game that their third-period collapses are "more a mindset right now" and "controllable," rather than a problem with systems or X’s and O’s. Karlsson emphasized the need to regain trust individually and as a team to overcome their current struggles.
