John Carlson Erupts for Career-High Five Points in Tampa Bay Rout

John Carlson delivered a career-best five-point performance with a power-play goal and four assists in Wednesday's 8-3 win against Buffalo. Carlson scored a late first-period goal and assisted on a Brandon Hagel tally before setting up all three goals in Nikita Kucherov's third-period natural hat trick. The veteran blueliner now has six goals and 15 points through 18 games to begin his debut season in Tampa Bay.
