Brandon Carlo News

Carlo (upper-body) will not play Saturday vs. the Lightning.

Carlo took an elbow to the head from Evgeni Dadonov on Thursday and did not return to the game. Carlo is likely in concussion protocol and will not be available for Saturday's game vs. Tampa Bay. John Moore will draw into the Bruins lineup and skate with Torey Krug.

The Bruins have re-signed Brandon Carlo to a two-year contract worth $5.7 million ($2.85M AAV).

Carlo was the last of the Bruins RFA’s to sign and earned himself a $2.85M AAV contract after recorded 10 points (2G / 10A) in 72 games a season ago. The 6-foot-5, 212 lbs. defenseman has become a physical shutdown defenseman that the Bruins can rely on to eat up heavy minutes (20:55 ATOI) next to Torey Krug.

Carlo (lower-body) did not travel to Philadelphia for Sunday's game.

Carlo suffered what appeared to be a very serious leg/knee injury in the Bruins win over the Panthers on Saturday, so it is not surprising that he stayed back in Boston. Carlo will undergo some tests before the Bruins reveal a diagnosis and timetable, but it looks like Carlo's season is over.
