Bruins defenseman Charlie McAvoy injured after being hit by a shot
In a match played on Saturday night, Boston Bruins defenseman Charlie McAvoy suffered an unfortunate incident during the game against the Montreal Canadiens. McAvoy was hit in the mouth by a powerful shot and had to leave the game in the second period. Bruins coach Marco Sturm reported after his team’s 3-2 victory that McAvoy was “fine” and was undergoing medical examinations.The incident occurred during a Canadiens power play. A shot by Noah Dobson appeared to deflect off Boston forward Mark Kastelic before hitting McAvoy. McAvoy reacted immediately by covering his face and falling on the ice, while the team’s medical staff rushed to assist him. The 27-year-old player was quickly taken to the locker room after bleeding on the rink. His teammate, Nikita Zadorov, was seen trying to recover the lost teeth.We will try to bring him home as soon as possible, hopefully tonight with us, but other than that, let’s hope he’s okay.

The Bruins secured their eighth win in nine games, improving their record to 12-8-0.It’s terrible. It’s a very concerning part of the game, and I really hope he’s okay. It was hard to watch and I wish him the best.
