Game-time call Carlson (undisclosed) will be a game-time decision versus Tampa Bay on Monday, Stephen Whyno of the Associated Press reports.
Impact Carlson remains bogged down in a 13-game goal drought, though he's racked up eight helpers over that stretch while averaging 24:33 of ice time. If the Massachusetts native misses Monday's matchup, Michal Kempny or Dmitry Orlov figures to jump into the top power-play unit while Radko Gudas would likely join the lineup.

Questionable for Monday While Carlson (undisclosed) participated in Saturday's practice, head coach Todd Reirden would not confirm the defenseman's availability for the first round-robin match against the...
Impact This may just be boilerplate postseason gamesmanship by the Capitals coach as the available evidence points to Carlson being good to go sometime in the near future. However, fantasy managers should check back for confirmation prior to puck drop Monday afternoon. At minimum, the Norris Trophy finalist's presence at practice is a good indication that any potential absence is likely to be short-lived.

Impact Carlson exited in the third period of Wednesday's 3-2 exhibition win over the Hurricanes after getting twisted up along the boards, but Reirden's optimism reinforces the sense that the exit was precautionary. The 30-year-old should be good to go for Washington's first round-robin contest against the Bruins on Aug. 3, but check back for updates in the coming days.

Finalist for Norris Trophy Carlson is among the finalists for the Norris Trophy, Sportsnet's Chris Johnston reports.
Impact Carlson's presence on the list of finalists is not surprising given that he was fourth among NHL defensemen with 15 goals and the league leader in blueliner points (60) in 69 games. The 30-year-old faces stiff competition from Nashville's Roman Josi and Tampa Bay's Victor Hedman for the trophy, but his glowing offensive production could be enough to put him over the top when all the votes are counted.

Impact Carlson led all NHL blueliners in scoring with his second consecutive 70-plus point campaign. The 30-year-old's production likely will give him serious Norris Trophy consideration and he should be one of the top blueliners when fantasy play resumes for the 2020-21 season.
