  • Capitals' John Carlson: Tallies two helpers in win

    Carlson provided two assists, had two shots on goal, blocked two shots and served two PIM in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Kraken.

Overall, the 35-year-old Carlson has 38 assists, 42 points, 134 shots on net and 104 blocks in 64 outings this season. Washington's leader on the blue line has back-to-back games with at least one assist and a total of 13 helpers over his last 15 games. He is tied for 11th in the league in helpers and should be a steady source of offense for the rest of the season.

  • Capitals' John Carlson: Five-game, five-assist streak

    Carlson tallied an assist Thursday in a 4-3 win over Philadelphia.

    He has assists (five) in five consecutive games, which matches his best streak this season. Carlson continues to pace toward yet another 50-plus point campaign while blocking a lot of shots. His 3.6 shooting percentage is low this season -- his career average is 6.3. Carlson may see an uptick in goal scoring as Jakob Chychrun's pace slows -- his 12.0 shooting percentage is well above his 7.3 percent career average, and the younger defender has recently gone through his longest goal drought (seven games) of the season.

After leading the NHL in ice time during the 2023-24 season, the Capitals are managing the 36-year-old's minutes more to start 2024-25.
