Carlo notched one assist and six blocked shots in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Panthers in Game 4.
Carlo brought a seven-game pointless streak to a close with his helper Sunday but is still mired in a 26-game goal drought dating back to Feb. 23 versus Seattle. While Carlo should continue to rack up defensive stats like blocks and hits, his limited offensive production will likely prevent him from being more than a low-end fantasy target.

Bruins' Brandon Carlo: Scores in Thursday's win
Rotowire
Carlo scored a goal on two shots in Thursday's 6-5 win over the Kraken.
Two of Carlo's three goals this season have come in February, and he's also added an assist through seven games this month. The defenseman tied the game at 5-5 late in the third period. He's up to 11 points, 67 shots on net, 95 hits, 87 blocked shots and a plus-24 rating through 53 outings. With the Bruins' trade for Dmitry Orlov on Thursday, Carlo could ultimately be bumped down to the third pairing, though he's not productive enough to be a factor in most fantasy formats anyway.

Rotowire
Carlo (lower body) is unlikely to return to Thursday's game versus the Rangers.
Carlo blocked a shot early in the second period and didn't return after it. If the defenseman misses any time, Jakub Zboril could fill in with a bottom-four role. The Bruins' next game is at home Sunday versus the Sharks.

Bruins' Brandon Carlo: Lends helper in win
Rotowire
Carlo provided an assist and blocked two shots in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Kings.
Carlo snapped a six-game point drought when he set up Trent Frederic on a go-ahead goal in the third period.

He's added 46 shots on net, 68 hits, 55 blocked shots, 16 PIM and a plus-19 rating through 34 appearances.

Rotowire
Carlo scored a goal and an assist on one shot, fueling the Bruins to a 7-3 win over Florida on Monday.
Carlo potted his first of the season with a shot from the slot off a feed from Brad Marchand. He would also add an assist on Charlie Coyle's goal later in the first period. His first multi-point game of the season, Carlo is up to one goal and six points in 27 games. He will continue to play in a top-four defensive role for Boston.

Rotowire
Carlo recorded an assist in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Lightning.
Carlo is still looking for his first goal of the season and has just three assists through 18 games. The 26-year-old defenseman has never reached the 20-point threshold in his seven-year NHL career and is unlikely to suddenly add an offensive element to his game.

Bruins' Brandon Carlo: Back in lineup Tuesday
Rotowire
Carlo (concussion) will suit up versus Dallas on Tuesday, Matt Porter of The Boston Globe reports.
Carlo -- who missed the previous four games while on injured reserve due to his concussion -- should get back to averaging between 18-20 minutes of ice time. Despite his minutes, the 25-year-old Colorado native shouldn't be expected to offer much in the way of fantasy value considering he has never reached the 20-point threshold in his seven-year NHL career.

Bruins' Brandon Carlo: Confirms concussion
Rotowire
Carlo verified Monday that he suffered a concussion, Steve Conroy of the Boston Herald reports.
Carlo ditched the non-contact jersey for Monday's practice session, so it appears the defenseman is trending in the right direction. Barring any setbacks, Carlo could be an option versus Dallas on Tuesday, though his status for that contest hasn't been announced by the club yet. If he does suit up, Carlo would likely bounce Mike Reilly or Jakub Zboril from the lineup.

Bruins' Brandon Carlo: Sustains upper-body injury
Rotowire
Carlo won't return to Saturday's game versus the Coyotes after suffering an upper-body injury.
Carlo was hit hard into the boards by Liam O'Brien late in the first period. He went to the locker room early, and the Bruins announced Carlo's absence at the start of the middle frame. An update on the defenseman should surface before Monday's game versus the Panthers. Considering Matt Grzelcyk (shoulder) and Charlie McAvoy (shoulder) are also out to begin the year, this is an inopportune injury for the Bruins' defense corps.

Bruins' Brandon Carlo: Expected to be sidelined again
Rotowire
Carlo (undisclosed) is set to miss out versus Ottawa on Thursday, Fluto Shinzawa of The Athletic reports.
Carlo has just one goal in his last 19 contests while chipping in four assists, so fantasy players shouldn't be banking on him suddenly producing in the offensive end. Still, the blueliner's absence will stretch the Bruins' defense considering Hampus Lindholm (lower body) is also sidelined.
