If Karlsson was playing with Crosby and Malkin instead of JOB and Zibanejad, how many more points do you think he'd have? Think of a number before you read the rest.








Now, the difference between the Sens and Pens over 13 games is about 7 goals. Karlsson gets in on 1/3 of his team's goals so that's 2, maybe 3 points more for him. How does that compare to the number you thought of above? Be honest.

It doesn't compare, because what you said is silly.

No, seriously, did you think he would have 5 points more, maybe even higher? If you did, then you've got to wonder why the difference is really that small -- half a goal per game, one point every 6 games (going by the 1 in 3 rule). Not silly at all. Point is, the Sens are scoring because of Karlsson, while the Pens are scoring because of Crosby and Malkin. Letang is benefiting from playing with them, while the Sens' forwards are benefiting from playing with Karlsson.
