SAN JOSE — Before he officially arrives in San Jose, Erik Karlsson felt he needed to introduce himself to the team’s fans.

Karlsson, acquired from the Ottawa Senators on Thursday, delivered a message to Sharks fans Saturday morning on the team’s Twitter account.

“Hello, San Jose. I’m Erik Karlsson, and I’m your newest member,” he said. “I can’t wait to get out to Sharks territory, and I’m super excited to see all of you on opening night at the Shark Tank.
