Washington Capitals defenseman Connor Carrick will make his NHL debut tonight alongside Jack Hillen. Carrick had 12 goals and 44 points in 68 games on the Plymouth Whalers blueline last season. He is a great puck distributor with a great shot, if he sticks on the Caps blueline he has a lot of offensive upside.
