Carlson scored the game-winning goal and added an assist in Sunday's 4-3 victory over the Kings.
He also added four shots on net, a blocked shot and a plus-3 rating. Carlson has found the scoresheet in three straight games, and Sunday's GWG was his first of the season. The 33-year-old blueliner has had a roller coaster season so far, along with the rest of the Capitals' roster, but he's managed two goals and eight points over the last 10 contests.
