Bruins defenseman Brandon Carlo was taken to the hospital via ambulance after Capitals forward Tom Wilson hit him in the head Friday night.
The hit occurred in the final minutes of the first period in the Bruins’ 5-1 win over the Capitals. Carlo had possession of the puck in one of the corners when Wilson charged at him, lifting his right elbow, striking Carlo in the head. Both players went down, but Wilson was quick to get back up. Carlo, however, remained down for some time before a pair of Bruins staffers attended him.
