Charlie McAvoy, Bruins Defenseman, Undergoes Surgery for Facial Injuries

Boston Bruins defenseman Charlie McAvoy underwent surgery on Wednesday to repair facial injuries sustained and will be out indefinitely. McAvoy took a shot to the mouth from Noah Dobson on Saturday during the second period of Boston’s 3-2 victory in Montreal.

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.
