Washington Capitals defenseman Connor Carrick will make his NHL debut tonight alongside Jack Hillen. Carrick had 12 goals and 44 points in 68 games on the Plymouth Whalers blueline last season. He is a great puck distributor with a great shot, if he sticks on the Caps blueline he has a lot of offensive upside.

Carrick, 19, (137th overall pick in 2012) impressed with poise, strong skating and decision-making skills over the course of five preseason appearances. Carrick had 12 goals and 44 points in 68 games on the Plymouth Whalers blueline last season. Should he make the Capitals top-six defensemen his offensive upside could make him fantasy relevant with time.
