Carlson provided an even-strength assist and went plus-2 in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Predators.

EDGE Analysis

Carlson registered the secondary assist on Andrew Mangiapane's 10th goal of the season in the third period. Carlson has notched three assists through six contests in January, but he hasn't scored since Nov. 27, a span of 21 games. Washington has eight players with at least 10 goals this season, so Carlson hasn't been relied upon in that category. For the season, the right-shot blueliner is up to three goals, 27 points, 12 PIM, 95 shots on net, 33 hits, 79 blocked shots, 18 takeaways and a plus-16 rating through 43 outings.

Carlson picked up two assists in Monday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Sabres.

EDGE Analysis

It was the veteran blueliner's first multi-point performance since Dec. 14. Carlson managed just one point, an assist, in the 10 games between those outbursts, and his goal drought stands at 18 games. While Carlson's offensive numbers are down in 2024-25, he's compensated with strong defensive play -- he has a plus-14 rating through 40 appearances, putting him on pace to top a plus-20 rating for the first time since 2018-19.

EDGE Analysis

Carlson has been scorching of late even without having Alex Ovechkin (lower leg) to feed pucks to on the power play, having notched a goal and nine points in his last eight games. After leading the NHL in ice time during the 2023-24 season, the Capitals are managing the 36-year-old's minutes a bit more to start 2024-25 and Carlson appears to be flourishing with 23 points in 28 games despite a normal power-play workload.

Carlson registered an assist, four shots on goal, four blocked shots and two PIM in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Canadiens.

EDGE Analysis

The 34-year-old defenseman is up to 20 points (seven on the power play), 70 shots on net, 51 blocked shots, 24 hits and a plus-13 rating through 27 outings. Carlson remains the Capitals' top blueliner in all situations, which makes him a reliable fantasy contributor.

EDGE Analysis

After Charlie Lindgren put the puck in his own net, giving the Lightning a 4-3 lead, Carlson offered a quick response to steady the Capitals. The tally ended his three-game point drought. Carlson is up to three goals, 12 assists, 53 shots on net, 38 blocked shots, 20 hits and a plus-13 rating over 22 appearances. His offense could take a hit during Alex Ovechkin's (fibula) absence, but Carlson plays enough minutes in all situations to remain productive in fantasy.

EDGE Analysis

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 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 leads the team.
