"It's great. Yesterday was a little crazy. This part of it feels a lot more normal. Obviously, a lot going on still, but this is more what I'm used to and was fun to get back out there and feel through getting to know everyone. It's a wild day. There's a lot of shaking hands and kind of being shown the ropes, showing what's around and what I need to do, and just get myself prepared to play as quick as possible."
"In 55 games for the Capitals this season, Carlson has recorded 46 points (10g, 36a) and skated 22:51 average time on ice per game. The Ducks will be without their star acquisition against the St. Louis Blues on Sunday, with a road game against the Winnipeg Jets on Tuesday likely to be Carlson's debut."
John Carlson, a 36-year-old defenseman, joined the Anaheim Ducks for the first time on Saturday morning following his trade from the Washington Capitals on Friday. Wearing Ducks colors for the first time, Carlson skated on the extra defense pairing as he continues recovering from a lower-body injury sustained after the Olympic break. He expressed enthusiasm about getting to know his new teammates and coaches. Carlson will miss Sunday's game against St. Louis but is expected to make his Ducks debut in Tuesday's road game against Winnipeg. With the Ducks, he aims to return to full playing status quickly. The Ducks currently lead the Pacific Division with 73 points.
