The Bruins also lost Brandon Carlo on Saturday night after taking a big hit in the first period against the Arizona Coyotes, and he was placed on the IR this morning with an upper-body injury. Of course, the worry is the long concussion history that Carlo has already had in his seven-year career.
General manager Don Sweeney brought in veteran Stralman on a PTO, who later signed a one-year, $1 million contract with the club. But why hasn't he skated in the Bruins' first two games?
Hopefully, he can get the issue with his VISA worked out, as with Carlo now on the injured reserve; Boston only has one right-shot defenseman in Connor Clifton.
