Erik Karlsson had two points in Pittsburgh's 4-3 victory over Detroit. The defenseman became the eighth Swede to reach 900 points in the NHL.

"I've played with a lot of good players over the years and I'm still chasing. I don't intend to stop here," 35-year-old Karlsson tells Aftonbladet.

Karlsson reached the milestone with two assists, to Sidney Crosby and Blake Lizotte respectively, and has a total of 203 goals and 697 assists in his NHL career.

Previously, seven Swedes have accounted for at least 900 points, writes Aftonbladet: Mats Sundin, Daniel Alfredsson, Nicklas Lidström, Henrik Sedin, Daniel Sedin, Nicklas Bäckström and Henrik Zetterberg.
