Bruins could get some needed help with Charlie McAvoy return
Bruins' Charlie McAvoy: Returning against Jets
In addition to linking up with Mason Lohrei on the Bruins' top pairing, McAvoy should reclaim his spot on the No. 1 power-play unit.
BOSTON — The Bruins will get two key pieces back on defense for Thursday’s game against Winnipeg. Charlie McAvoy and Brandon Carlo will both be back on the Bruins blue line leaving Hampus Lindholm as the only defenseman missing. Mark Kastelic remains ...
The Bruins have not had Lindholm and McAvoy anchoring their D corps together since the former suffered a lower-body injury on Nov. 12 against the Blues.
The McAvoy family grew after Charlie McAvoy’s wife Kiley, gave birth the couple’s first child on Sunday morning.
"You want to be out there because you feel like you can make a difference." The post Bruins’ D corps ready for lift as McAvoy, Lindholm inch closer to return appeared first on Boston.com.
Boston was thumped in Buffalo on Tuesday, and the return of McAvoy – out since Jan. 11 with a wrist injury – will certainly help.
Boston Bruins defenseman Charlie McAvoy is still recovering from an undisclosed injury with no set return date.
The Bruins host the Jets on Thursday. Lindholm, who is currently on Long Term Injured Reserve has been out since suffering a lower-body injury on Nov. 12 against the Blues. McAvoy had been out since Jan. 11 with an undisclosed injury.
Hampus Lindholm, out since Nov. 12 with a lower-body injury, was also a full participant in practice for the first time since going down in St. Louis after taking a shot off the knee. Like McAvoy, he will not travel to Buffalo but is closing in on a return to game action.
Sure, the Boston Bruins were without three of their top defensemen – Charlie McAvoy (wrist), Hampus Lindholm (knee) and Brandon Carlo (ill) – but Boston’s overall defense was terrible during a 7-2 loss to the Buffalo Sabres Tuesday at KeyBank Center in Buffalo, N.Y.
Charlie McAvoy’s injury won’t keep him from playing in the NHL 4 Nations Face-Off for Team USA.
This is exciting news for the Bruins, as Lindholm and McAvoy are two of their top defenders. Skating in regular jerseys is a major step in the right direction for the pair. However, they won't be back in the lineup just yet, as head coach Joe Sacco said they won't be options against the Buffalo Sabres on Jan. 28.
