Carlson had a goal in Saturday's 7-3 blowout over Colorado.
With just two points in November heading into Saturday's contest, the goal was a welcome relief for Carlson, as he seems to be struggling in the absence of usual partner Brooks Orpik, who remains out of the lineup with a lower-body injury. Despite the slump, Carlson is on pace for another 50 point campaign, and remains a contender for the Norris Trophy. With Orpik expected back soon, continue to play the 25-year-old defenseman with confidence.
