Capitals look more like themselves in beating the Hurricanes 3-1 in Game 2 to tie series

Connor McMichael and John Carlson scored, Logan Thompson made 27 saves and the Washington Capitals beat the Carolina Hurricanes 3-1 in Game 2 to tie the second-round playoff series

Assists in back-to-back games Carlson picked up an assist in Tuesday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Hurricanes in Game 1.

Impact Carlson is warming up with a point in each of his last two games; both were assists. The whole Caps squad, save for Logan Thompson in net, was pretty much missing in action Tuesday. Carlson will be counted on for leadership to help kickstart the squad for Game 2, or the Caps won't have a chance in this series. That's how good the Canes were on Tuesday.

Expected to return for Game 1 Carlson (rest) is slated to play in Game 1 of Washington's first-round series against Montreal on Monday, Sammi Silber of The Hockey News reports Saturday.

Impact Carlson hasn't been in the lineup since last Saturday, so he should be well rested at this point. He finished the regular season with five goals, 51 points, 49 hits and 131 blocks across 79 outings with Washington. Carlson is projected to skate on the top pairing alongside Jakob Chychrun versus the Canadiens.

Still out Thursday Carlson (rest) won't play Thursday versus the Penguins, Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post reports.

Impact The Capitals will play with 13 forwards and five defensemen for their regular-season finale. Carlson has rested the last three games, and while there's no glaring concern about the 35-year-old's status, that much rest will at least raise some eyebrows. Check back on his status before Game 1 versus the Canadiens on Monday.

Not playing again Tuesday Carlson (rest) won't be in the lineup against the Islanders on Tuesday, per Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post.

Impact Carlson will miss his second straight game for maintenance purposes, and his availability for Thursday's regular-season finale versus Pittsburgh is unclear. He has compiled five goals, 51 points, 167 shots on net and 131 blocked shots through 79 appearances this season.

Game-time call Tuesday Carlson (rest) will be a game-time decision for Tuesday's divisional matchup against the Islanders, according to Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post.

Impact Carlson's status for Tuesday's game is up in the air after he was also given a rest day Sunday against the Blue Jackets. Dylan McIlrath will continue to operate in a third-pairing role if Carlson doesn't suit up against the Islanders. Carlson has generated five goals, 51 points and a plus-17 rating across 79 appearances in 2024-25.

Sitting out Sunday Carlson (rest) won't play against Columbus on Sunday, according to Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post.

Impact Carlson will skip the second half of Washington's back-to-back set versus the Blue Jackets for maintenance. He has accounted for five goals, 51 points, 167 shots on net and 131 blocked shots through 79 appearances this season. Carlson will probably play Tuesday versus the Islanders or Thursday against the Penguins before the beginning of the playoffs. Dylan McIlrath will replace Carlson in Sunday's lineup.
