Capitals' John Carlson: Extends point streak
Carlson tallied a goal and added four shots during Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Flyers.
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.

Capitals' John Carlson: Notches two points
Carlson tallied a power-play goal, an even-strength assist and four shots during Saturday's 5-3 loss to the Devils.
Carlson opened the scoring off the draw during Washington's first power play of the season. The 34-year-old notched 10 goals and 52 points during the 2023-24 regular season and should be in line to lead the team's defense corps in scoring again this season. The arrivals of Matt Roy (lower body) and Jakob Chychrun should help the Capitals spread the ice time around more evenly and help keep Carlson fresh as the season progresses.

Capitals' John Carlson: Nets 20th career playoff goal
Carlson was the lone scorer for the Capitals in Friday's 3-1 Game 3 loss to the Rangers.
Carlson opened the scoring with a fluttering shot that eluded Igor Shesterkin, 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 3-0 in the series, the Capitals need goals any way they can get them.

Capitals' John Carlson: Two points in Thursday's loss

It's only the veteran blueliner's second multi-point performance in the last 17 games, although his production's been steady with three goals and 12 points over that stretch. Carlson has reached 50 points on the season for the sixth time in his career, but his point-per-game pace of 0.63 is his lowest since 2016-17.

Capitals' John Carlson: Produces assist in win
Carlson logged an assist and five shots on goal in Saturday's 2-1 win over the Canucks.
Carlson is up to a goal and four assists over eight outings in March. The 34-year-old defenseman has 39 points, 131 shots on net, 152 blocked shots, 51 hits and a minus-1 rating through 66 contests overall. Carlson continues to see heavy usage on the top pairing and first power-play unit, but the Capitals' low-scoring tendencies in 2023-24 have put a damper on his contributions.

Capitals' John Carlson: Bags two apples
Carlson tallied two assists, a plus-3 rating and four blocked shots during Saturday's 4-1 win over the Blackhawks.
Carlson has nine points over his last 11 games as the Capitals are firing on all cylinders in an attempt to chase down a playoff spot in the final weeks of the season. The 34-year-old has been a reliable fantasy defender for most of his career and should be a solid producer for fantasy managers in the home stretch.

Capitals' John Carlson: Lights lamp Monday
Carlson tallied a power-play goal and added two shots during Monday's 6-3 win over the Senators.
Carlson's goal capped a memorable night as he became the franchise's all-time leader in games played by a defenseman, passing Calle Johansson with 984 contests. The 34-year-old has a healthy four points in his last six outings and is reclaiming his mantle as one of the league's more dependable offensive blueliners, so keep him rolling.

Capitals' John Carlson: Dishes helper Tuesday
Carlson registered an assist while logging 24:32 of ice time during Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Devils.
Carlson has posted two goals and 12 points in 20 games since the calendar rolled into 2024, but he's managed just four points in that span on a Capitals power play that has struggled with consistency all season. The 34-year-old is on pace for another 40-plus point campaign and should be a solid, though perhaps not gamebreaking, fantasy rearguard for the remainder of the 2023-24 season.

Capitals' John Carlson: Notches two points Thursday
Carlson tallied two assists and a plus-2 rating during Thursday's 5-2 win over the Blues.
Carlson has rebounded nicely since the calendar rolled into 2024, posting two goals and seven points in nine games thus far in January. The 34-year-old is still generating solid offense with 26 points in 43 games, but he is on pace for his lowest goal total in a decade, which is likely to disappoint fantasy managers who were expecting more robust production.

Capitals' John Carlson: Two points including GWG
Carlson scored the game-winning goal and added an assist in Sunday's 4-3 victory over the Kings.
He also added four shots on net, a blocked shot and a plus-3 rating. Carlson has found the scoresheet in three straight games, and Sunday's GWG was his first of the season. The 33-year-old blueliner has had a roller coaster season so far, along with the rest of the Capitals' roster, but he's managed two goals and eight points over the last 10 contests.

Capitals' John Carlson: Earns milestone helper in loss
Carlson used the power play to record career assist No. 500 in Friday's 6-2 loss to the Hurricanes.
As he's done plenty of times in his career, Carlson dished the puck to Alex Ovechkin, who fed Dylan Strome for a tip-in goal at the doorstep. Unfortunately for the Caps, they squandered a 2-0 lead after the first period and permitted six unanswered tallies to lose a tough divisional tilt at home. Carlson has two goals and 19 assists, including nine points on the power play, through 37 games.

Capitals' John Carlson: Lights lamp Wednesday
Carlson tallied a power-play goal, four shots and two hits during Wednesday's 6-3 loss to the Devils.
Carlson's second goal of the season ended a five-game scoring drought and gave him his 11th consecutive season with at least 20 points. Despite averaging a career-high 25:42 of ice time, the 33-year-old is struggling mightily to produce the kind of offensive numbers that have made him such a reliable fantasy blueliner over the years. Some positive regression seems likely for the 27th overall pick from the 2008 NHL Entry Draft, so fantasy managers should just hope Carlson turns the corner quickly now that the calendar has rolled into 2024.

Capitals' John Carlson: Fuels offense with three helpers
Carlson notched three assists, two on the power play, in Thursday's 3-2 overtime win over the Blue Jackets.
The veteran blueliner put together his first multi-point performance of December -- vintage nights have been few and far between this season for Carlson. His only goal of 2023-24 came back on Oct. 18, and it's been a sudden drop for a player who lit the lamp 17 times just two seasons ago -- his 19 points in 30 games this year puts him on pace for his least productive full season since 2016-17.
