Despite being seen on skates during morning skate both Saturday and Monday, Washington Capitals defenseman John Carlson remains out for Monday’s tilt with the Carolina Hurricanes. It will mark the fourth game he’s missed since leaving early in the January 15 game with the Flyers.
There’s no specific word on what the injury is, as it’s just labeled as a lower-body injury.
Reports from Monday indicate that Carlson is unlikely to return until after the All-Star break. Aside from Monday, the Caps play Tuesday and Thursday.
Russian Machine Never Breaks was one of the many news outlets to report the news Monday.
