Boston Bruins defenseman Brandon Carlo left Saturday's game against the Florida Panthers after losing his balance and falling awkwardly in the corner late in the third period.
Carlo appeared to catch an edge while fighting for the puck with Panthers forward Aleksander Barkov.

Carlo didn't need to be stabilized but did leave on a stretcher, perhaps because he was hurt near the Zamboni doors that lead to the tunnel of the arena.
Nevertheless, a significant injury to the young rearguard would be difficult for the Bruins to swallow.
