McAvoy scored two goals -- one shorthanded -- to go with four shots, three blocks, two hits and a plus-4 rating in Sunday's 6-3 win over the Canadiens.
McAvoy kicked off the scoring with a wraparound goal midway through the first period, starting a string of three Boston goals in 70 seconds. The defenseman then scored a shortie just 13 seconds into Montreal's first power play of the game early in the second. It was the second shorthanded goal of McAvoy's career. The goals were welcome after McAvoy scored just once in his previous 23 outings.
