Brandon Carlo down in the corner. Had to be taken out through the zamboni doors off on a stretcher. Last time I saw that in this building was Stamkos' broken leg.. No bueno.

Riley Nash just caught a Torey Krug shot on the side of his head. Went down afterward and needed a lot of help getting off the ice and down the runway to the room. Didn't look good at all

There were no updates after the game for the players.

No updates on Brandon Carlo or Riley Nash postgame, but neither returned to the game. With the team leaving for Philly tonight, they might not need a call-up with Gionta as a spare and possibly Chara or McAvoy returning tomorrow vs. Flyers

The 21-year-old Carlo has six assists over 75 games with the Bruins in 2017-18, his second year in the NHL.
