Game-time call Carlson (undisclosed) will be a game-time decision versus Tampa Bay on Monday, Stephen Whyno of the Associated Press reports.
Impact Carlson remains bogged down in a 13-game goal drought, though he's racked up eight helpers over that stretch while averaging 24:33 of ice time. If the Massachusetts native misses Monday's matchup, Michal Kempny or Dmitry Orlov figures to jump into the top power-play unit while Radko Gudas would likely join the lineup.

However, fantasy managers should check back for confirmation prior to puck drop Monday afternoon. At minimum, the Norris Trophy finalist's presence at practice is a good indication that any potential absence is likely to be short-lived.

Impact Carlson exited in the third period of Wednesday's 3-2 exhibition win over the Hurricanes after getting twisted up along the boards, but Reirden's optimism reinforces the sense that the exit was precautionary. The 30-year-old should be good to go for Washington's first round-robin contest against the Bruins on Aug. 3, but check back for updates in the coming days.
