Brandon Carlo is out of the hospital and resting at home, according to Bruins head coach Bruce Cassidy.
The defenseman Carlo, who took a forceful hit from Tom Wilson of the Capitals in the first period of Boston’s 5-1 win Friday, stayed at the hospital overnight but was deemed well enough to head home early Saturday morning.
“He hasn’t been at the rink, obviously,” Cassidy told reporters. “That’s all I got from the trainers this morning.”
Cassidy said he wasn’t surprised by the way Carlo’s teammates rallied around him and rose to the occasion following the incident.
