Erik Karlsson's Confidence Soars, Driving Penguins' Five-Game Win Streak

Erik Karlsson delivered his best performance of the season, making a crucial play before Rakell's tying goal and assisting Crosby's game-winner, extending the Penguins' win streak to five. He has 5 points in 5 games since Christmas, running the NHL's second-ranked power play (12 of 31 points on PP) and contributing significantly to the penalty kill with 92:40 logged. His play is a key factor in Pittsburgh holding a playoff spot.
