A look at William Karlsson's NHL career
William Karlsson's breakout season in 2017-18 with the Vegas Golden Knights was remarkable and unexpected in recent NHL history. Despite being picked up by the Golden Knights during the expansion draft, Karlsson made the most of the opportunity and experienced a stunning offensive surge. He managed to score an impressive 43 goals, a remarkable improvement from the six goals he scored in the previous season.
This 37-goal jump was the third-largest single-season increase in NHL history. Moreover, Karlsson's exceptional performance earned him the third spot in the league for goals. He also led the Golden Knights with a total of 78 points.
Notably, Karlsson wasn't just an offensive force, but he also excelled defensively, boasting a league-leading plus-49 rating. Furthermore, he demonstrated sportsmanship and discipline by incurring just six minor penalties throughout the entire season, which led to him being honored with the prestigious Lady Byng Trophy.
Even in the playoffs, Karlsson continued to impress, contributing significantly with seven goals and 15 points in 20 games as the Golden Knights managed to reach the Stanley Cup Final during their inaugural season.
Although he couldn't replicate the extraordinary numbers in the following season, Karlsson still put up decent stats. He had 24 goals and accumulated 56 points, which shows his consistency as a top scorer in the NHL.
