Gustav Karlsson Facts

Drafted: 2022 round 6 #187 overall by Buffalo Sabres

Karlsson has an impressive and accurate shot. He moves the puck sideways to shoot and has a very quick release to surprise the goalie. He is slick with the puck and can slide through a defence when he has the upper hand in speed. -EliteProspects 2022 NHL Draft Guide
