Career

Carlson began his career in the junior division with the New Jersey Rockets from the third-rate US division Atlantic Junior Hockey League . There he played between 2005 and 2007 and recorded 62 scorer points in 82 games . At the end of the 2006/07 season, the defender joined the Indiana Ice from the United States Hockey League , where he also spent the following season. His 43 points in 59 games earned him a contract with the London Knights of the Ontario Hockey League . In addition, Carlson was selected in the NHL Entry Draft 2008 in the first round in 27th place by the Washington Capitals .

After he had played the 2008/09 season with the Knights in the OHL and despite the commitment of John Tavares had not managed to win the J. Ross Robertson Cup , the Washington Capitals took him under contract. To gain game practice in the professional field, they sent the defender to their farm team , the Hershey Bears from the American Hockey League . At the end of the playoffs he had been used 16 times and celebrated with the team winning the Calder Cup . For the 2009/10 season , Carlson stayed in the Hershey Bears squad, but also made his NHL debut for the Washington Capitals during the season . Since the 2010/11 season he has only been part of the Washington Capitals squad and has developed into an undisputed regular.

Carlson played 412 straight season games over the next five seasons before missing a game due to an injury in December 2015. He stayed ten games below the previous franchise record of Bobby Carpenter , who played 422 games without interruption for the Capitals from 1981 to 1986.

In the 2017/18 season, Carlson significantly increased his personal statistics to 68 scorer points from 82 games, leading all defenders in the league. In the subsequent playoffs in 2018 he also succeeded in doing this with 20 points, winning the first Stanley Cup in franchise history with the caps . The American then signed a new contract in Washington, which should bring him a total salary of 64 million US dollars over the next eight years. At the beginning of the 2019/20 season, he recorded 23 points scorer in 14 games and was therefore named NHL Player of the Month for October. He finished the season with a previous career record of 75 points and was again the most attacking defender in the NHL, with 10 and 20 points ahead of ranks two ( Roman Josi ) and three ( Victor Hedman ). In addition, only three players in the league exceeded his 60 assists, while his average points of 1.09 per game was last achieved by a defender over 25 years ago, in the 1993/94 season . As a result, he was nominated together with Roman Josi and Victor Hedman for the James Norris Memorial Trophy , which honors the best defender in the NHL.

International

Carlson represented his home country for the first time at the 2010 U20 World Youth Championship in Saskatoon, Canada . There he won the gold medal with the team after a 6: 5 final win in overtime over host Canada. Carlson posted seven scorer points in seven tournament games, including the decisive goal of the final game. His achievements in the course of the tournament earned him the election to the All-Star Team of the tournament.

For the senior team of the USA Carlson debuted at the 2014 Winter Olympics before he two years later at the 2016 World Cup of Hockey participated.
