Franklin’s Michael Callahan is finding his footing on Bruins’ D corps

The 25-year-old defenseman — pressed into NHL service due to the absence of both Hampus Lindholm and Charlie McAvoy — logged 16:27 of ice time against the Senators while skating alongside Brandon Carlo.
Only Carlo and Andrew Peeke logged more reps on the penalty kill than Callahan (3:01), who also blocked two shots and doled out a hit in his second career game with the Bruins.
It was far from an eventful night for the Franklin native.
