Karlsson very excited for the opportunity to contend for a Stanley Cup in Pittsburgh

Erik Karlsson met with the media for the first time as a Penguin to discuss his trade from San Jose to Pittsburgh, and said ‘he found the joy in the game’ again last year. Karlsson also denied reports that he had a strained relationship with Brent Burns and doesn’t foresee any issues with fellow offensive defenceman Kris Letang.
