Charlie McAvoy Suspended Four Games
1 year agoBoston Bruins defenseman Charlie McAvoy has received a four-game suspension for an illegal check to the head of Florida Panthers defenseman Oliver Ekman-Larsson. The incident resulted in McAvoy getting a match penalty in Monday's game, and he'll now have plenty of time to think about his actions. McAvoy scored in a second consecutive game Monday and has been on fire with eight points in nine games. The Bruins also lost Matt Grzelcyk (upper body) to injury in Monday's game, meaning the entire first defensive pairing got wiped out in one night. Hampus Lindholm and Brandon Carlo should receive a nice boost in playing time now, while the rest of the blue line will need to put in extra shifts as well. McAvoy will be eligible to return to action on Nov. 11 against Montreal.
