John Carlson is having a Norris Trophy winning season. This is part 1 of 2 reviewing Carlsons’ season. On-ice stats are adjusted to 5 v 5 play. His power play prowess is one of his strong suits, I will examine these stats as well in part 2. These stats are provided by http://naturalstattrick.com
Through 64 games this season, Carlson has played 1103 minutes, averaging 17.23 minutes per game. That is good for 2nd place among defensemen for the Capitals, only behind Orlov. Carlson has 1.011 PDO over that span, good for 4th place, marginally better than the 1.
