Carlson's Ducks Debut Delivers in Montreal

John Carlson finally suits up for Anaheim after the shocking trade from Washington, logging heavy minutes on the second pair with Olen Zellweger. The 36-year-old puck-mover, sidelined since early February with a lower-body tweak, eyes a top power-play role alongside Leo Carlsson and Cutter Gauthier. Ducks brass traded a conditional first and a third to land him, betting big on his veteran savvy to shore up a blue line that's leaking goals in the Pacific race.
