John Carlson Missing From Capitals Bench vs. Predators

Just minutes after T.J. Oshie left the Washington Capitals’ Saturday tilt vs. the Nashville Predators with an apparent injury, the team also saw John Carlson exit Saturday’s tilt.

It’s unclear what exactly happened or if it’s an injury, but he did have an awkward fall in the corner halfway through the first period as he tried to take the puck from Zach Sanford. Carlson slowly got back up and finished the shift before heading back to the beach. No. 74 had one more shift for seven seconds but did not skate after that.
