The Boston Bruins held an optional skate on Thursday morning as they get ready to play the Toronto Maple Leafs in Game 1 of their first round matchup.�
Things have changed between the two teams as both have added and subtracted some players from last year's series.�
Of course the Leafs added a big one in John Tavares, however one of the Bruins biggest editions for this series was around last year but wasn't able to play due to injury.�
Defenseman Brandon Carlo around will give the Bruins a HUGE boost this time around.�
As Joe McDonald of The Athletic points out
"He adds an element of size, speed and strength, especially against the speedy Toronto forwards. Carlo's presence on the PK is also a major factor. When he was out last season against the Lightning, it had a huge effect on Boston's chances. No. 25 is a welcome sign for the Bruins."
Carlo will play with Torey Krug on the team's second defensive pairing.�
