Why would he need to get injured for us to run this test? The Sens already spend just over 50% of their games without him - he plays about 29 minutes per game. There's information available on various websites that track each player's stats when playing with Karlsson and playing without. All of that information suggests that most of the team is a train wreck without him, not more responsible defensively.
For example, the Sens are the worst team in the league at giving up shots five on five, but they give up fewer shots with Karlsson on the ice than any other Sens defenseman. He ain't the problem there.

It's very hard to not get a sense of what FDW is talking about when watching a Sens game.
The coaching style does seem to adjust/change when Karlsson is on ice, but the team still looks quite bad. This adjustment also justifies the need for him to get injured to "run this test".
