Nash left Saturday's win over the Panthers early with an apparent head injury and will not play against the Flyers on Sunday. Look for Brian Gionta to step back into the Bruins lineup to replace Nash on Sunday.
Carlo suffered what appeared to be a very serious leg/knee injury in the Bruins win over the Panthers on Saturday, so it is not surprising that he stayed back in Boston. Carlo will undergo some tests before the Bruins reveal a diagnosis and timetable, but it looks like Carlo's season is over.
