Carlson has had a great season, but will miss an extended period of time for the second time this season. Carlson underwent a procedure on his unspecified lower-body injury and will keep him out for 3-4 weeks. He is expected to be moved to long-term IR but should be back before the playoffs.

Carlson (lower-body) will not play on Saturday.

Carlson was always considered doubtful for today’s matinee but now he has officially been ruled out of his seventh consecutive game. He remains questionable for Sunday’s contest. The Capitals will not have a morning skate, so we won’t know Carlson’s status until head coach Barry Trotz meets with the media.

The Capitals have placed John Carlson (lower-body) on IR; retroactive to December 28th.

Carlson will miss his sixth straight game with a lower-body injury on Thursday. Carlson’s movement to IR is retroactive, so he will be able to return to the lineup whenever he is healthy. They put him on IR to create a roster spot to officially sign Mike Richards.

Carlson (lower-body) will not play on Tuesday; could return on Thursday.

Carlson will travel with the team on their road trip, but will not play tomorrow against the Bruins. Carlson skated this morning which is a great sign, so look for him to join the team later in the week and monitor his status prior to Thursday’s contest.

Carlson (lower-body) will not travel on the Capitals upcoming five-game road trip.

Carlson was listed as questionable for Wednesday’s game, but will not miss at least a couple of games with a lower-body injury. This is a huge blow to the Capitals blueline, who will get Aaron Ness from Hershey (AHL) to act as their seventh defenseman while Carlson is out.

Carlson’s iron man streak is in jeopardy of coming to an end—he has appeared in 412 consecutive games. Puck-drop is at 7 p.m, so monitor his status when warmups get underway at 6:30 p.m.
