Ottawa Senators superstar Erik Karlsson has now been on the ice for all 10 of his team's game-winning goals so far in the postseason. Coincidence? I think not.
In fact, Karlsson has scored two game-winners himself and assisted on three more so far in the playoffs, giving him a direct impact on 50 percent of the club's game-winners.
Though the second goal in a 5-1 victory lacks drama compared to Ottawa's other nail-biting game-winners, it's still impressive that he has now been on the ice for every single one. He does play nearly half of the game, but that shouldn't take away from the fact that good things happen when the Senators' captain is on the ice.
Karlsson now has two goals,12 assists, and a plus-13 rating in 15 games in the postseason, further cementing his case as the Conn Smythe front-runner.
