"Carlo has played a massive role in the Leafs' defence core as Chris Tanev has been out of the lineup for the majority of the season. This most recent injury development has left a massive hole in the Leafs' blueline. Carlo has been used as the Maple Leafs' shutdown defenceman, playing heavy minutes against other teams' best players. Carlo has also played well and has been effective on the Leafs' penalty kill, which has been very good as of late."
"The cause of the injury has yet to be confirmed, and there is no initial timeline on when we could see Carlo return to the Leafs' lineup. Until Craig Berube provides an update, many believe Carlo will be labelled as day-to-day. Carlo has dealt with injuries for the majority of the season, missing a long period of time after undergoing foot surgery back in December. Carlo's injury troubles this season began back in November."
Brandon Carlo tweaked something during the Maple Leafs' 2-1 overtime loss to the Detroit Red Wings and has been added to the team's injury list. The cause of the injury is unconfirmed and there is no initial timeline for his return, with many expecting a day-to-day designation until coach Craig Berube updates the status. Carlo has missed significant time this season after foot surgery in December and earlier injury issues dating to November. Carlo served as the Leafs' shutdown defenceman and key penalty-kill contributor, and his absence would force less-experienced options like Dakota Mermis or Philippe Myers into the lineup.
