The 21-year-old Swede, who missed the Olympics with Tre Kronor due to injury, stepped straight into the first line between Alex Killorn and Beckett Sennecke - and made an immediate impression.
Carlsson was on the ice at 2–2, reduced the deficit to 3–4 himself, and assisted Cutter Gauthier's decisive goal with just over a minute left.
Anaheim recovered from deficits of 0–2, 2–4 and 4–5 and completed one of the strongest turnarounds of the season.
Carlsson was named the best player of the match - this in a match where Edmonton superstar Connor McDavid was on the ice and recorded two assists.
