3 years agoWashington Capitals defenseman John Carlson factored in three goals during Sunday's 4-2 win over Carolina, delivering two assists and finishing off the scoring with an empty-netter. He logged nearly 27 minutes of ice time and finished with a plus-two rating, adding two shots, a block and a hit to his tally. Carlson is now averaging exactly a point per game through 22 outings this season, and he passed Adam Fox to become the highest-scoring defenseman in the league. The 31-year-old rearguard has been particularly hot in recent weeks, putting together five multi-point performances in seven games.--Taavi Pailk - RotoBaller
