The Capitals can anticipate their top defenseman's return as he nears recovery from his head injuries.
Despite the Capitals' slim playoff chances, Carlson's return will be a welcome boost for the team.
Carlson's value as a trade asset or an integral part of the Capitals' rebuilding process is significantly higher when he is healthy.

Carlson's injury was extremely serious.
When he was well enough, Carlson shared his experience:
«It felt like being struck by lightning,»
«The pain was unbearable, and I was unsure if I would make it through.»
