Banks assist Sunday Carlson registered a power-play assist in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Hurricanes.
Impact Carlson picked up his third point in his last four games by setting up Alex Ovechkin on the man advantage in the opening frame. Carlson has only been held off the scoresheet three times through 11 contests, and he leads all of Washington's blueliners in points with nine. The 34-year-old generated 52 points while skating in all 82 regular-season games in 2023-24, and if he can stay healthy again, he should be able to top that number given his current scoring pace. Carlson's 25:56 of ice time per game comfortably paces all of Washington's skaters.

Helps on power play Carlson had a power-play assist, two shots on net, three blocks and one hit in Thursday's 6-3 win over the Canadiens.
Impact Carlson picked up the secondary helper on a power play early in the second period that led to Tom Wilson's goal to give the Capitals a 1-0 lead. It was the second consecutive game with an assist for Carlson, who has six apples through nine games to go along with two goals.

Garners assist in win Carlson notched an assist, three shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Rangers.
Impact Carlson had been held off the scoresheet in the previous two games after opening the year on a five-game streak. The 34-year-old set up Nic Dowd late in the third period for an empty-net tally. Carlson has two goals, five assists, 20 shots on net, 13 hits, 11 blocked shots and a plus-8 rating across eight contests this season. His spot on the top power-play unit is likely to be more secure if Jakob Chychrun (upper body) misses time, though Carlson would also have to adjust to a new defensive partner at even strength.

Extends point streak Carlson tallied a goal and added four shots during Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Flyers.
Impact Carlson has posted two goals and six points and has scored in each of Washington's first five games to start the 2024-25 season. The 34-year-old might not lead the NHL in ice time like he did during the 2023-24 campaign, but the Capitals continue to lean heavily on Carlson in all situations. The New Jersey native remains a top-end fantasy producer from the back end and should provide plenty of dividends for fantasy managers.

Notches two points Carlson tallied a power-play goal, an assist and four shots during Saturday's 5-3 home loss to the Devils.
Impact Carlson opened the scoring off the draw of Washington's first power play of the season. The 34-year-old notched 10 goals and 52 points during the 2023-24 season and should be in line to lead Capitals defenders in points again this season-- though the arrivals of Matthew Roy and Jacob Chychrun should help the Capitals spread the ice time around more evenly and help keep Carlson fresh as the season wears on.

Nets 20th career playoff goal Carlson was the lone scorer for the Capitals in Friday's 3-1 loss to the Rangers.
Impact Carlson opened the scoring with a slick snapshot, but the lead was short-lived as the Blueshirts countered with two goals of their own in the first period, followed by a power-play insurance tally in the second frame. The venerable defenseman is up to 20 goals and 75 total points through 126 career playoff games, but being down 3-1 in the series, the Capitals need goals any way they can get them.
