Washington Capitals fans, we’ve reached the midway point of the season and one player representing the team in the All-Star Game is John Carlson.
John Carlson will be one of three Washington Capitals players participating in the festivities in St. Louis, Missouri. The Blues will be hosting and will be excited to have Oshie back, one of their former players.
But Carlson will be another offensive player the fans who come out to the game should watch for. With the season he’s been having, he may carry his momentum into the exhibition festivities which feature more than just a hockey game.
There is also the NHL All Star Skills competition the night before pitting the league’s best against one another. These events include the Bridgestone NHL Fastest Skater, Bud Light NHL Save Streak, Honda NHL Accuracy Shooting, Elite Women’s 3-on-3 presented by adidas, Enterprise NHL Hardest Shot, and the Gatorade NHL Shooting Stars.
Some of these events are returners from previous years while others are new editions looking to keep hockey fans from the casual to the diehard engaged as we patiently await the second half of the season.
For Capitals defenseman John Carlson, here is our predictions on what to watch from him at the NHL All Star Game.
