Charlie McAvoy

The final player that we are going to talk about is Charlie McAvoy. He has been great defending in his own zone while also creating some great scoring opportunities.

McAvoy has two assists so far. He is great at distributing the puck, especially on the power play. Also, McAvoy has a great shot as well.

Another key thing that McAvoy has done is secure quality zone entrances. This is a major factor in creating quality scoring chances.

In his own zone, McAvoy has been great at bodying opponents and making sure the goaltender has a clear view of the puck.

McAvoy seems to be all that Bruins fans were expecting. He is capable of being the Bruins top defender.

Things are definitley interesting, but the Bruins should be able to get past the Hurricanes. At the end of the day, they are a more talented team even without Rask.

Hopefully, these players will be able to keep up the good work and lead the Bruins to the next round.
