Charlie McAvoy is just the latest Bruins defenseman to benefit from ‘dad strength’

Brandon Carlo is not exactly a familiar name on the Bruins’ score sheet.

But even with just 29 career tallies over 608 career games with Boston, the stay-at-home blueliner seemingly had fortune on his side last spring during the Stanley Cup Playoffs.

On the same day that Carlo and his wife, Mayson, welcomed their first son, Crew, into the world around 3 a.m., it was fitting that Carlo lit the lamp in Boston’s Game 1 win over the Panthers later that night.

“Definitely 24 hours that I won’t forget,” Carlo, who arrived in Florida just a few hours ahead of puck drop following a mid-day flight down from Boston, said after that win against the Panthers.
