Top 3 John Carlson moments
Ahead of John Carlson's 1,000th game let's look at the best Carly moments
#2 Dekeing Jonathan Quick
On Dec. 4, 2019 in a game in LA against the Kings, Carlson channeled his inner Ovi and put together some incredible puck stick work to totally fake out goaltender Jonathan Quick.
What I love about this goal is how Quick is slow to react to Carlson, no pun intended and Carly's little sneaky work there with the puck allowed him to tuck it just behind Quick. By the time Quick noticed it was way too late.
That goal would go on to be Carlson's second goal of the night. It would be a game the Caps would go on to win 3-1 with Tom Wilson sealing it with an empty net goal. The Caps would go on to win their fifth game in a row in what was a six game winning streak.
