William Karlsson should be working this Saturday and Sunday. Instead, the Golden Knights’ leading goal-scorer is getting the weekend off.

Karlsson, who has 27 goals, second in the NHL to Washington’s Alex Ovechkin’s 29, was not selected to participate in Sunday’s NHL All-Star Game. So what will he do with his time off?

“I’m staying in Vegas, probably go see a show, the MJ (Michael Jackson) One at Cirque du Soleil,” he said Thursday prior to the Knights hosting the New York Islanders at T-Mobile Arena.
