Capitals' John Carlson expected to be out for a while

Washington Capitals defenseman John Carlson (lower body) is expected to be out for a while, but there isn't a set timetable for his return.

What It Means:

Carlson has missed the past two games with the injury and has been ruled out for Thursday's game.

Carlson had been struggling this year, recording a 47.9 Corsi For Percentage while seeing his Relative Corsi For Percentage at Even Strength dip to -4.4. The time to heal likely comes at a rough time for Carlson, though, who had recorded eight points in his past eight games.
