Bruins defenseman Charlie McAvoy undergoes surgery for facial injury

Boston Bruins defenseman Charlie McAvoy underwent surgery on Wednesday to repair facial injuries. The player will be out of action indefinitely, according to reports. McAvoy suffered the impact of a slap shot from Noah Dobson to the mouth during the second period of Saturday’s game, in which the Bruins defeated Montreal with a score of 3-2.

Okay. He’s recovering at home. We still don’t know how long he’ll be out.

Marco Sturm, Bruins coach

So far this season, McAvoy has accumulated 14 assists in 19 games.
