The Offensive Hit

When Karlsson and Burns played together, both saw a drop in their production.
While they could connect for plays like this, they filled the same phenotype.
In their final season playing together, they combined for a 111-point pace. After Burns got moved to Carolina, the two combined for 162 points (101 for Karlsson, 61 for Burns).
With Karlsson getting a fresh start in Pittsburgh, he will play against Burns a lot more and will look to compete with him for a division title.
