Carlo (foot) played 17:41 and was plus-2 in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Panthers.

He returned after missing 23 games with an ankle injury that required surgery. Carlo is a rock-solid shutdown defender with limited offensive upside. He has just two assists in 19 games this season. Carlo will eventually deliver blocks to fantasy managers, but that may not be enough to make him worthy of a roster spot.
