2.Charlie McAvoy

Besides being forced to leave the game, Charlie McAvoy looked great on the ice. It seemed as though McAvoy returned to the player that impressed Bruins fans early on.

McAvoy was a +4 on the night and looked like himself on the ice. He was delivering some great hits and was saucing the puck around the ice.

The Bruins need McAvoy. He is such a talented defenseman. McAvoy is the Bruins top defenseman. They can’t afford for him to miss any more time.

It was a promising sign to see McAvoy return to the bench before the end of the game, but he isn’t out of the clear. McAvoy won’t be in the clear until tomorrow.

So now we have to sit and wait. Hopefully, we won’t be hearing any news about McAvoy and a concussion on Sunday.

Charlie McAvoy looked great and hopefully he will be able to continue to progress this season.
