Vice president and general manager George McPhee announced that The Washington Capitals have recalled defenseman John Carlson from the Hershey Bears of the American Hockey League. Carlson ranks tied for 11th among AHL defensemen with 25 points in 32 games. He is tied for 10th in the league with a +17 rating.
January is a busy month for Carlson. He played in two games for the Capitals last week, represented the Bears in Portland on Tuesday in the AHL All-Star Game and led the U.S. National Junior Team to a gold medal in the World Junior Championship this month, scoring two goals in the gold-medal game. Carlson has played five games for the Capitals this season, averaging 14:34 of ice time with a +4 rating. The Capitals selected Carlson in the first round of the 2008 NHL Entry Draft with the 27th overall selection. Hope he can play well in the capitals jersey.
