William Karlsson’s luscious locks are about to get some TV time.

The Golden Knights center stars in a new commercial for Great Clips with Florida Panthers right wing Matthew Tkachuk. The 14-second spot will run through the NHL playoffs on channels such as NHL Network, TNT, ESPN and KTNV-13.

Karlsson’s flow long has been one of his standout traits, to go with his exceptional speed, intelligence and work ethic. He played a key role in the Knights’ victory against Tkachuk and the Panthers in the 2023 Stanley Cup Final.

Karlsson finished with 11 goals in 22 games last postseason. The Original Misfit also went viral during the Knights’ victory parade for an impassioned speech he made in front of T-Mobile Arena.
