What happened: Vancouver Canucks forward Linus Karlsson scored his 13th goal of the season, reaching 30 points in 65 games. He is the top scorer among all NHL forwards averaging fewer than 12 minutes per night. The goal came in a recent game against Tampa Bay.

Why it matters: Karlsson's output on just $28,000 per point ranks him fourth league-wide among non-ELC players, highlighting his cost efficiency. Fans appreciate bottom-six contributions in a rebuilding year.

By the numbers: Stats: 13 G, 17 A, 30 P in 65 GP; avg TOI <12 min (NHL leader in points for such forwards); Cost per point: $28K (4th NHL non-ELC). Recent form: Multiple assists in last games; unlucky PDO since Feb 1 despite strong underlying metrics.

What to watch: Monitor Karlsson's goal/point props in upcoming Canucks games and any changes to his ice time or line placement.
