John Carlson, defenseman for the Washington Capitals, reaches a milestone of playing in 1000 career NHL games and celebrates with his son Sawyer Carlson.

Washington Capitals defenseman John Carlson celebrates his goal against the Boston Bruins during the second period of an NHL hockey game Saturday, March 30 2024, in Washington. Washington Capitals defenseman John Carlson celebrates after scoring in the third period of an NHL hockey game against the Winnipeg Jets, Sunday, March 24, 2024, in Washington.

“He doesn’t expect useless energy,” Pacioretty said. “He knows when to use it, kind of when to be a little bit more reserved, and I think that’s a skill that so few people have.” While Carlson is known more for his offense — 670 points in 1,005 regular-season games — his defensive acumen is often underappreciated, given how many tough matchups the Natick, Massachusetts, native by way of New Jersey has been tasked with throughout his career. Ryan Callahan felt more than a few shoves in front of the net from Carlson over the years, especially in Capitals-New York Rangers playoff series.
