Brandon Carlo, Matt Poitras Could Return Thursday
10 months agoBoston Bruins defenseman Brandon Carlo (upper body) and center Matt Poitras (shoulder) could both be options for Thursday's matchup against the visiting Colorado Avalanche. Carlo hasn't appeared since getting hurt in a Jan. 8 contest against these same Avalanche in Colorado. The physical rearguard has registered two goals and 10 points in 39 games but also has 51 hits, 71 blocks, and 22 penalty minutes on his ledger in 20:17 of average ice time per game. Poitras injured his shoulder in a Jan. 9 overtime loss to the Anaheim Ducks and did not return after skating 8:34 in the contest. The rookie pivot has been solid with five goals and 15 points on the season as part of his 13:46 of average ice time per game.
