The Boston Bruins received some concerning news today as they hit the ice for an optional practice session. Among the 14 players present, one notable absence stood out: Brandon Carlo. This absence raised eyebrows, especially considering Carlo's pivotal role in the playoffs, particularly against the Toronto Maple Leafs.
This wouldn't normally raise eyebrows but considering Brandon Carlo wasn't on the bench for the Bruins during overtime, there is a lot of speculation that Carlo could be dealing with, or got injured during the third period last night.
Throughout the series, Carlo has been tasked with shutting down the potent Matthews line, alongside Hampus Lindholm, and has performed admirably in this role. However, his absence from practice today has sparked speculation that he may have sustained an injury during the third period of last night's intense Game 6 against the Maple Leafs.
