Brandon Carlo Stats

Boston Bruins defenseman Brandon Carlo (lower body) will play Sunday against San Jose. His status for the game was initially in doubt after he exited Thursday's clash against the Rangers with a lower-body injury, but Bruins head coach Jim Montgomery has confirmed that Carlo is ready to play Sunday. The 26-year-old carries very little value offensively, with only seven points posted in 47 games, but he has been very good defensively with 76 hits and 67 blocks, and Carlo sits among the team leaders with a plus-23 rating.

Boston Bruins defenseman Brandon Carlo suffered an upper-body injury Saturday night against Arizona. The 25-year-old blue-liner took a hard hit by Liam O'Brien along the boards late in the first period. Carlo ended up logging 6:40 and 10 shifts without contributing anything to the box score. The severity of Carlo's injury currently remains unknown, the Bruins should provide an update prior to Monday's tilt against Florida. Should Carlo miss any action, the team's blue line would look very thin, as Matt Grzelcyk (shoulder) and Charlie McAvoy (shoulder) are already unavailable. Connor Clifton would greatly benefit in such a situation, and he already logged over 24 minutes on Saturday, finishing with an assist, three shots, three hits, two blocks and a plus-two rating.

Boston Bruins defenseman Brandon Carlo sustained an undisclosed injury in Tuesday's 4-2 loss to St. Louis, leaving the game after skating for just 4:48. He's set to be re-evaluated on Wednesday before the team provides an update. Carlo boasts only 15 points for the season, but he's a big presence for the Bruins on the defensive end. The 25-year-old has recorded 128 hits and 93 blocks in 71 games. His absence will be a painful blow, especially with Hampus Lindholm (lower body) and Matt Grzelcyk (upper body) also dropping out of the lineup lately. As a result of all the injuries, Derek Forbort has teamed up with Charlie McAvoy on the first defensive pairing and Mike Reilly is also getting a heavy dose of action.

Boston Bruins defenseman Brandon Carlo will remain in New England after signing a six-year contract at $4.1 million per year. Through 27 regular-season games in 2021, the shutdown defenseman compiled three goals and one helper. He is a plus-58 in 324 contests in his career. The shorthanded specialist should be a key component for the Bruins future for many years to come.
