The Goteborg, Sweden, native had a career high 21 goals, second only to Oliver Ekman-Larsson of the Arizona Coyotes.
Karlsson said he believes he’s a better all-around player than when he won the Norris in 2012.
He finished ahead of Drew Doughty of the Los Angeles Kings and P.K. Subban of the Montreal Canadiens.
Karlsson said to Doughty and Subban: “I still look up to you every day. I think you’re great.”
