Erik Karlsson remembers playing in Pittsburgh as an opposing player in Ottawa and San Jose, often "on the wrong side of things," as he put it.
"Every time we played you f---ers, it was always that you didn't even want to go into (the locker room) after," he said with a laugh while touring the team facilities on Tuesday.
Karlsson won't have to experience that PPG Paints Arena visiting locker room and any bad memories associated with it again anytime soon. He's on the other side now, after being acquired by the Penguins in a three-team trade on Sunday.
