San Jose Sharks defenceman Erik Karlsson and his wife Melinda have welcomed a baby girl into their lives.
Karlsson, who missed San Jose’s season opener on Thursday against the Vegas Golden Knights, shared the news in an Instagram post Thursday night.
While a member of the Ottawa Senators in March 2018, Karlsson announced he and Melinda’s first child, a boy, was stillborn.
He thanked his wife for everything she’s done in the post.
“To my beautiful wife for doing everything in her power to bring our beautiful little baby girl in to this world, never have I met a more determined or stronger person than you,” he wrote. “It hasn’t been easy but after the rain finally our little rainbow arrived. Love you both more than I could ever imagine.”
The Senators traded Karlsson to the San Jose Sharks in September 2018.
