John Carlson

John Carlson had 10 goals and 42 assists for 52 points as he too like T.J. Oshie, reached the 1,000 game plateau. In all, Carlson played in 1,009 games recording 151 goals and 523 assists for 674 points. In the regular season Carlson's corsi for percentage was at 47.52 percent while his expected goals for percentage was at 48.76 percent.

In the playoffs, Carlson's corsi for percentage came out to 53.80 percent, his high danger chances for percentage came out to 60 percent. He was on fire in the playoffs sort of speak. And that is no easy feat especially for the veteran who was drafted in the first round by the Capitals in 2008, the same year Braden Holtby was drafted.

The other hard job was being John Carlson's defensive partner as you've seen in our player report cards that we've done throughout the offseason. Still, there's more to this story that we don't know and the one hot question on everybody's mind is whether or not Carlson will be healthy for another season.
