Erik Karlsson to Miss Practice with Illness, Status for Tuesday Uncertain

Pittsburgh Penguins defenseman Erik Karlsson will miss Monday's practice due to an illness. His availability for Tuesday's game against Carolina is uncertain. Karlsson has recorded three goals and 26 points in 37 games this season. Should he be unable to play, Connor Clifton may enter the lineup, and Kris Letang would likely move to the top power-play unit.
