The team's stalwart defenseman, leading Washington in ice time. is expected to miss time after taking a puck to the face.
“It sucks that Carly get hurt and the whole third period I think the boys were thinking about him and how he’s doing, but I hope he’s all right,” Ovechkin said. “I don’t know what’s happening right now, but all our minds right now are with him.”
Carlson has eight goals and 13 assists through 30 games and is averaging a team-high 23:24 of ice time. If Martin Fehervary, dealing with an upper-body injury that the team is calling day to day, is not healthy enough to play Tuesday, Alex Alexeyev could take Carlson’s place in the lineup.
