Boston Bruins head coach Marco Sturm provided some new details regarding Charlie McAvoy's situation after his injury in their previous game and has confirmed his status for tonight.
After taking a slapshot to the face in their most recent game against the Montreal Canadiens, McAvoy ended up getting some testing done.
Marco Sturm was hopeful that McAvoy was going to be able to travel back to Boston with the team.
Later on, Elliotte Friedman revealed some good news for Bruins fans, revealing that McAvoy did travel back to Boston with the team, which is a good sign, especially considering how bad it originally looked.
Today, following practice, head coach Marco Sturm provided some new details on the situation.
McAvoy will not play tonight
As expected, Sturm confirmed that McAvoy is not going to be in the lineup tonight whenever the Bruins take on the Hurricanes.
Along with that, he stated that McAvoy is seeing some doctors today, but there is no definitive update on his situation.
Charlie McAvoy out for tonight. He's seeing doctors today, but no definitive update. Doesn't sound like he's going to be back anytime soon. Pending roster move with Johnny Beecher, which is why he was held off the ice for morning skate today
According to Joe Haggerty, it doesn't sound like McAvoy is going to be back with the Bruins any time soon.
This is a huge loss for the Bruins, especially since they were just starting to find their game.
Being down a player like Charlie McAvoy could change the whole outcome of the season, especially if he is out long-term.
