Capitals: Handing out player grades on the season so far

#72 Travis Boyd

Travis Boyd played in just 24 games this season, mostly cycling in and out of the lineup. He has three goals and seven assists for 24 points. Boyd’s Corsi percentage is a career-high 54.9 percent. He also spent time in Hershey and had four goals and two assists in those four contests.

Grade: C

#74 John Carlson

John Carlson has had a strong season, perhaps his best one in D.C. He’s scored a career-high 15 goals and added 60 assists for 75 points. Carlson’s 75 points lead all defensemen in the NHL as does his 60 assists. His Corsi For percentage is at a respectable 52.3 percent. Johnny B. Goode.

Grade: A

#77 T.J. Oshie

T.J. Oshie has returned to his prime form with 26 goals and 23 assists for 49 points. That’s second on the team in scoring behind Ovechkin. He was on pace to at least match his career-high 33 goals in the 2016-17 season. The Oshbabe recovered from his playoff injury last year and is better than ever.

Grade: A+

#92 Evgeny Kuznetsov

Last but simply not least is Evgeny Kuznetsov who we always love but sometimes scratch our heads with sometimes when his game is “off”. 19 goals and 33 assists for 52 points isn’t bad but for a player of Kuzy’s caliber, he needs to step it up if the season resumes.

Grade: C
