Erik Karlsson leads defensemen in points in the NHL.
When he scored his 70th point of the season last night, he became the fourth running back all-time to reach that point total so quickly.
Those who have previously done so are the legends Bobby Orr, Denis Potvin and Paul Coffey.
Jonathan Dahlén played with Karlsson in the San Jose Sharks last season.
- It is a fantastic achievement.
He is a great hockey player and person too.
We wish him every success.
It was great fun playing with him last season, he says.
Last season was tougher for the 32-year-old, who then stopped at half the points he had already achieved this year.
- He had some injury concerns and such last season, but you could still see that it was there then as well.
No one is surprised, he is this good.
It's fun that he gets paid for it, says Dahlén, who is now back in Timrå.
The San Jose Sharks are unlikely to make the playoffs in the NHL.
Thus, Karlsson can be eligible for World Cup games with Tre Kronor this spring - if he does not change teams before then.
- It would have been incredibly cool to see him in a WC.
He would add an incredible amount.
For Tre Kronor's sake, we can only hope that he wants to join, says Dahlén.
