The Washington Capitals will once again be playing without their top defenseman. John Carlson won’t be on the ice when his team takes on the Stars in Dallas Saturday night. It will mark the third straight game Carlson has missed.

No John Carlson at morning skate at American Airlines Center in Dallas. Safe to assume he’ll miss third straight game w/ lower-body injury.

Carlson has been out with what head coach Barry Trotz has referred to as a lower-body injury.
