• Bruins' Charlie McAvoy: Still no timeline

  5D ago • By RotoWire

  McAvoy (shoulder) fully participated in Monday's practice, but there is still no timeline for his return to the lineup, Joe Haggerty of Boston Sports Journal reports. McAvoy has missed the last 17 games but appears to be progressing. It's still unclear if he will return before the end of the regular season, though that could be a possibility if he continues to improve. McAvoy has compiled seven goals, 23 points, 98 shots on net, 81 blocked shots and 89 hits in 50 appearances this season.

• Bruins' Charlie McAvoy: Returns to practice

  11D ago • By RotoWire

  McAvoy (shoulder) returned to practice Tuesday. Interim head coach Joe Sacco said "It's good for the morale of the team to have him around...He's progressing the way he should be right now. He's not pushing himself any more than he has to. When he's available he'll be in the lineup. When he's ready." This suggests that McAvoy at least has a chance to return prior to the end of the season. The Bruins were six points out of a playoff spot at the start of play Tuesday, so it's unlikely they'll be making the postseason. However, fantasy managers who have McAvoy on injured reserve may want to hold on a little longer to see if he can contribute late in the season.

  McAvoy (shoulder) was placed on injured reserve Saturday, per the NHL media site. McAvoy is out indefinitely due to an infection in his right shoulder and an AC joint injury. The Bruins have yet to reveal an official timeline for his absence, but losing McAvoy is a big hit to a team in the middle of the playoff race. Mason Lohrei figures to pick up power-play time in the interim.

• Bruins' Charlie McAvoy: Develops shoulder infection

  02/19/2025 • By RotoWire

  McAvoy suffered a right shoulder injury during Team USA's clash against Finland on Thursday. He returned to Boston but began to experience increasing pain, which led to him being diagnosed with an infection as well as a significant AC joint injury. He had a procedure Tuesday and is in the hospital to be treated with IV antibiotics, the Bruins announced Wednesday. A timetable for McAvoy's return is unclear, but it will probably be a long-term absence. Interim head coach Joe Sacco expects the defenseman to be unavailable in the "short term," according to Eric Russo of the Bruins' official site, but didn't go into more detail. McAvoy has seven goals, 23 points, 46 PIM, 89 hits and 81 blocks over 50 appearances with Boston in 2024-25. Jordan Oesterle will probably play against Anaheim on Saturday due to McAvoy's absence.

• Bruins' Charlie McAvoy: Ruled out against Canada

  02/18/2025 • By RotoWire

  McAvoy (upper body) will not be in the lineup for Team USA's clash with Canada on Thursday. McAvoy is continuing to be evaluated by both Team USA and the Bruins, leaving his availability against the Ducks on Saturday in doubt. The 27-year-old blueliner was sidelined for seven games in mid-January and now faces the potential of being back on the shelf after just five games back in the Bruins' lineup. For the Americans, Jake Sanderson figures to remain in the lineup with McAvoy on the shelf.
