Bruins have no immediate word on Brandon Carlo’s foot injury - The Boston Globe
The defenseman took a slapshot off his right boot and had to leave Thursday's game against the Rangers early in the second period.
NEW YORK — After seeing how quickly Patrice Bergeron returned from taking a puck to the face Wednesday night, the guessing game over Brandon Carlo’s foot injury in Manhattan Thursday should carry the requisite asterisk:
*out at least until Saturday’s workout in Brighton.
Carlo, struck by a Ranger slapshot early in the second period, was not seen again after hobbling to the dressing room only 22:14 into what ended as a 3-1 win.
A dime-store doctor worth his/her degree might surmise that Carlo incurred a bone fracture, or severe bruise, on the outside of his right foot. That unofficial diagnosis is based on force of shot, point of impact, and how quickly he made his way stage right on Broadway.
Typically, players have an educated sense of when stinging shots need but a minute or two to quiet down, and usually wince their way through the pain cycle, jaw clenched, on the bench. But a grimacing Carlo skipped right by the bench, hopscotched his way to the room with help from the training staff, and, most telling, didn’t so much as return during a break in the action to take a test twirl.
We’re going to be careful, right?” coach Jim Montgomery said. “We’ve got a real good extra defenseman in [Jakub] Zboril, and if [Carlo] isn’t ready to go Sunday, we’ve got the luxury of getting Zboril into games.”
Carlo is no stranger to the injured list, including a fractured left ankle in April 2018 that put him out of that year’s postseason. He also has missed time because of a concussion.
Zboril, 25, has been somewhat of a lost soul on the roster, particularly after Charlie McAvoy returned to the lineup Nov. 9 after offseason shoulder surgery. Montgomery has chosen most nights to roll out the same six D-men, leaving Zboril in the No. 7 spot. He has suited up for only 14 games all season, only two since Nov. 13.
Carlo is a right stick and Zboril a left. If Carlo is out of the mix for a while, then Zboril might end up on his off side, likely riding with Derek Forbort on the No. 3 pairing. Connor Clifton, who potted the 3-0 lead at Madison Square Garden, most likely would fill Carlo’s No. 2 spot alongside Hampus Lindholm.

Bruins Issue Update On Tomas Nosek | Boston Bruins
BOSTON -Boston Bruins General Manager Don Sweeney announced today, January 21, the following update on forward Tomas Nosek:Tomas Nosek suffered a non-displaced fracture in his left foot during the team's 3-1 win at the New York Rangers on Thursday, January 19. He will be reevaluated in...
Nosek could use the rest for his nagging upper body injury honestly

Awesome news about Carlo. Still would have him in a non-contact sweater and put him in bubble wrap.
The silver lining with Nosek's injury is that it comes just before the all star game and bye week plus his upper body can heal too

Too bad about Nosek. They need him, given the alternatives: "Stumps" Wagner and fellow confirmed minor leaguer, Koppanen do not cut it. Littieri is not a checker. Mclovin is a possibility, but he is not really a center or a checker either.

Today’s Globe:
Jake DeBrusk, who banged up a hand and leg in the Jan. 2 Winter Classic, resumed skating this week. Per Montgomery, it remains a possibility that the 26-year-old winger will get in a game toward the end of the trip, but odds are better that he’ll remain shut down, keep building back his strength, and return for the Feb. 11 matinee vs. the Capitals at the Garden …
The Bruins on Tuesday called up former Boston College forward Marc McLaughlin from AHL Providence, largely because they learned over the weekend that Tomas Nosek will be sidelined for a month or more with a cracked bone in his left foot.

Not sure what to make of that:
#1: Montgomery says Freddie will be fine. Too much swelling to put boot back on.
#2: No swelling. Pain and a pressure point kept him out.
Does the "Montgomery says Freddie will be fine" still apply? And do I trust any of this at all -- given that one post is entirely not like the other?
It's why I kind of hate Twitter. Did Porter hear from someone else and it turned out to be bad info? Got his notes wrong? Did he talk to Montgomery at all? etc.
Trent Frederic misses final two periods after taking shot in foot - The Boston Globe
Frederic, who was also tackled to the ice during a scrum behind Florida’s net, went over the boards for his final shift, but quickly hopped back on the bench and left for the dressing room. He logged 1:45.
SUNRISE, Fla. — The Bruins left here hoping for good news on third-liner Trent Frederic, who did not play the final 42 minutes of a 4-3 overtime loss to the Panthers.
Frederic blocked a shot with his foot in the first period and did not return.
“As far as I know, he’s going to be fine,” Bruins coach Jim Montgomery said. “It’s just the tenderness of where he blocked a shot, I guess the pressure point is right where he got hit, so he had trouble putting his skate back on.”
Frederic, who was also tackled to the ice during a scrum behind Florida’s net, went over the boards for his final shift, but quickly hopped back on the bench and left for the dressing room. He logged 1:45.
“We tried to do some different things to get him back out,” Montgomery said, “but every time he went to put the skate back on and went to flex to gain power, I guess there was a lot of pain.”
If Frederic cannot play Sunday in Carolina, Joona Koppanen would rejoin the forward corps. He and spare defenseman Jakub Zboril said and watched from the Roger Neilson Memorial Press Box on Saturday night.
Montgomery had no update on fourth-line center Tomas Nosek, who fractured his left foot on Jan. 19 against the Rangers. Nosek, slated to miss at least four weeks, could return for a Feb. 20 game against Ottawa or rejoin the team for a four-game trip out west (Seattle, Vancouver, Edmonton and Calgary from Feb. 23-28).
