Bruins Face Uncertain Future as McAvoy Undergoes Surgery, Return Date Unknown
Charlie McAvoy will be out indefinitely after having facial surgery, the Boston Bruins announced on Wednesday.
The defenseman was struck in the face by a Noah Dobson slap shot in the second period of a 3-2 win against the Montreal Canadiens on Saturday and taken to a hospital. McAvoy did not play in a 3-1 loss at the Carolina Hurricanes on Monday.
“He’s doing good. He’s recovering right now at home, and we still don’t know how long he’s going to be out for,” Bruins coach Marco Sturm said Wednesday prior to their 4-3 loss to the Anaheim Ducks. “Other guys have to step up, I think that’s the bottom line. It can’t be (Nikita) Zadorov and (Hampus) Lindholm.”
