The 19-year-old has centered the team's top line when in the lineup, posting nine goals and 23 points in his first 40 NHL games. He scored his first NHL goal in his debut game, Oct. 19 vs. Dallas, and then followed it up with a hat trick performance less than one month later, Nov. 19 vs. Philadelphia.
As of March 14, Carlsson ranks fourth among NHL rookies in points per game (.58).
