Bruins announce critical health updates

NHL.com

With the Boston Bruins having already secured the President’s Trophy, they can certainly afford to not have a few important faces in the lineup as the regular season winds down to a close. 

Defenseman Charlie McAvoy departed last night’s game against the Toronto Maple Leafs after sustaining a hit along the boards; he was held out of the rest of the contest due to precautionary reasons. The good news for him is that his ailment isn’t believed to be serious.

Meanwhile, veteran forward David Krejci isn’t expected to be able to suit up by the next time that his team hits the ice, according to head coach Jim Montgomery.

“Krejci is very doubtful, I would say,” Montgomery said. “McAvoy is to be determined, it’s just how he responds to treatment today to be honest. [Taylor] Hall is getting closer. He hasn’t checked all the boxes, but he’s close. He is a possibility for this weekend.”

They host the postseason-bound New Jersey Devils tomorrow night at home at TD Garden.

Bruins lose McAvoy in gutsy win over Leafs

-

In case you missed it earlier this evening, the Boston Bruins completed a gutsy OT comeback win over the Toronto Maple Leafs in a very entertaining game. 

The two sides played some tight, physical hockey which gave the game a definite playoff feel. Again, it was a gutsy win for the Bruins but it came at a pretty big cost.

Defenseman Charlie McAvoy left the game in the 2nd period and did NOT return to action. The team announced heading into the 3rd period that McAvoy is out with an upper body injury. 

McAvoy collided with teammate Patrice Bergeron in the 2nd period and went hard into the end boards. He came up appearing to favor his right shoulder.

This is obviously a HUGE concern given McAvoy’s injury history and his role on the Bruins’ back-end. 

Following the game, Bruins head coach Jim Montgomery calmed those concerns though, saying that pulling McAvoy from the lineup was, “just precautionary,” Montgomery said. “We don’t think it’s anything serious.”

Breathe deep, Bruins fans.
