One of the Achilles heels for the Boston Bruins in the Stanley Cup playoffs this season was the lack of depth on the blueline when injuries started to pile up in the second-round series against the New York Islanders.
One could argue, that when the Bruins held a 2-1 series lead following a 2-1 overtime in Game 3 against the Isles, the series changed in the third period when Brandon Carlo exited the game when he was on the receiving end of a hit from New York’s Cal Clutterbuck.
