Carlson (lower body) is questionable to return.

All my defencemen are getting hurt. Did anyone see it and can comment on how severe they think it was, then it would be appreciated.

As per CBS :

''Carlson left Sunday afternoon's game against the Flyers with a lower-body injury, and his return his questionable. Carlson only skated for 6:38 and hasn't come out for the second period. Various reports have indicated that this may be related to the lower-body issue that forced him to leave Thursday's practice prematurely. The Capitals go right back to work Monday against the Penguins, but that's a road game, so expect a quick turnaround in terms of the team reevaluating Carlson. ''

I watched the game but didn't notice what happened to him. Apparently he started the 2nd season on the bench but left midway through without playing any minutes in the 2nd period.

who slides up to replace him on that side? Niskanen and Orlov work well together. Does the hot Nate Schmidt move up to top pairing?

Any updates?

FYI: Carlson has played less games than Letang the past two seasons. Food for thought when looking at trades.

Slight possibility for Thursday, but likely out until after All-Star break.

Rotowire--Carlson (lower body) was on the ice for Monday's practice and is expected to play Tuesday against the Islanders, Isabelle Khurshudyan of The Washington Post reports.
Spin: Head coach Barry Trotz said he expects Carlson, who has missed the last six games with the ailment, to play Tuesday, so fantasy owners should begin preparing for his return. The 27-year-old defenseman had seven points in the seven games prior to the injury, but some tempered expectations over the next few games might be warranted as he works his way back.
