At 34 years old and playing in his 15th NHL season, all with the Washington Capitals, defenseman John Carlson continues to make an impact on the ice. Facing a divisional opponent, the Philadelphia Flyers, Carlson netted a goal late in the second period which proved to be the game winner. Positioned down low near the net, Carlson capitalized on a rebound generated by a Rasmus Sandin point shot, executing a wraparound maneuver to beat the opposing goaltender.
