Carlo scored a goal on two shots in a 4-3 defeat to the Panthers on Monday.
Carlo only scored four times in 76 regular-season contests last year but has already found the back of the net just four games into this campaign. Still, the 27-year-old blueliner has never reached the 20-point mark in his nine-year NHL career, so fantasy managers may want to temper expectations that this strong start (three points in four games) will continue.
