5 years agoWashington Capitals defenseman John Carlson scored a goal at even-strength and added a power-play assist during Monday's 5-3 loss to the New York Islanders. The 30-year-old defenseman has been a remarkable source of offense for the entire season, tallying 15 goals, 52 assists, and 21 power-play points through 56 games. Carlson is currently on an unfathomable 98-point pace, which would be the highest point total by a defenseman since Brian Leetch had 102 points in the 1991-92 season. There is no question that he is one of the most valuable players in fantasy hockey. Lock him into your lineups and throw away the key. --Raymond Harrison - RotoBaller
