Boston Bruins defenseman Brandon Carlo missed the team's morning skate in Sunrise, Florida, on Monday because he was with his wife, Mayson, who had delivered the couple's second child, Crew.
But Carlo grabbed a flight and was there in plenty of time for Game 1 of the Bruins' Eastern Conference second-round series against the Florida Panthers.
And guess what? He scored a goal.

The goal for Crew came with 21 seconds left in the second period and was Boston's third marker at 6:47.
It made the score 3-1.
It's been quite the last few days for the Carlo family.
Boston advanced to the second round with a 2-1 overtime win over the Toronto Maple Leafs in Game 7 of that series on Saturday night.
