Bruins' Charlie McAvoy: Two helpers against Philly
Rotowire
McAvoy notched two assists, one on the power play, in Monday's 6-0 win over the Flyers.
The 25-year-old blueliner has been feast or famine lately, recording a pair of helpers in three of the last six games but getting held off the scoresheet entirely in the other three. McAvoy has still been productive overall since making his belated season debut in November, and over 30 contests he's racked up two goals and 25 points, although he hasn't found the back of the net in 23 straight.

Bruins' Charlie McAvoy: Draws power-play helper
Rotowire
McAvoy produced a power-play assist, two shots on goal and two blocked shots in Friday's 4-3 loss to the Coyotes.
McAvoy set up a David Pastrnak goal in the first period. With four helpers over his last four games, McAvoy has quieted down a bit from the burst of offense he had in mid-November. The 24-year-old blueliner is still a strong option in fantasy since he plays massive minutes on an elite team. He's up to two goals, 12 helpers, seven power-play points, 30 shots on net, 24 hits, 22 blocked shots and a plus-7 rating in 13 appearances.

Bruins' Charlie McAvoy: Snags assist in defeat
Rotowire
McAvoy recorded an assist, along with five shots, versus Vegas on Monday.
McAvoy has been rock solid since making his season debut in early November with 13 points in 11 games, including six power-play points. Given his role with the man advantage, the 24-year-old Long Beach native should continue to produce at a high volume and figures to offer top-end fantasy value.

Bruins' Charlie McAvoy: Will play Thursday
Rotowire

This will be McAvoy's first game of the season after undergoing offseason shoulder surgery. The 24-year-old defenseman had 10 goals and 56 points in 78 games in what was a breakout year offensively in 2021-22, including 21 points on the power play.

Bruins' Charlie McAvoy: Won't rule out Thursday return
Rotowire
McAvoy (shoulder) won't comment on whether he will be available against the Flames on Thursday, Matt Porter of The Boston Globe reports, though he did lead the team stretch after practice Wednesday.
While far from confirmation for McAvoy playing, teammate Brad Marchand did the same thing before his return from injury back in October. If McAvoy does return to action, he will need to be activated off injured reserve, which could mean a demotion to the minors for Mike Reilly or Anton Stralman.

Bruins' Charlie McAvoy: Set to travel with team
Rotowire
McAvoy (shoulder) ditched the non-contact jersey at practice Monday and will travel with the team for its three-game road trip, Steve Conroy of the Boston Herald reports.
Though McAvoy won't play during the upcoming road trip, the fact that he has been cleared for contact is certainly a step in the right direction. Once given the all-clear, McAvoy should not only get back to being on the top pairing but also the No. 1 power-play unit, where he figures to offer top-end fantasy value. Whenever the blueliner returns, he figures to bump Anton Stralman from the lineup.

Bruins' Charlie McAvoy: Moved to LTIR
Rotowire
McAvoy (shoulder) was shifted to long-term injured reserve Monday, Matt Porter of The Boston Globe reports.
McAvoy isn't close to returning from his offseason shoulder surgery and his movement to LTIR is simply for cap purposes. The 24-year-old blueliner is coming off a career year and should still provide solid fantasy value even in a truncated season. He scored 10 goals and 56 points through 78 games during the 2021-22 campaign.

Bruins' Charlie McAvoy: Out six months
Rotowire

Based on his current timeline, McAvoy will be out until early December. The 24-year-old scored a career-high 56 points through 78 games and chipped in five assists in six postseason contests. He was one of three Boston blueliners to undergo surgery Friday and the team could be looking at a pretty thin defensive unit to begin the 2022-23 campaign.

Bruins' Charlie McAvoy: Suiting up Tuesday
Rotowire
McAvoy was removed from the COVID-19 list and will play Tuesday against Carolina, Matt Porter of The Boston Globe reports.

Bruins' Charlie McAvoy: Won't travel with team
Rotowire
McAvoy (COVID-19 protocols) will not be joining the Bruins on the road for Game 5 versus Carolina on Tuesday, Fluto Shinzawa of The Athletic reports.
Given the league's five-day isolation period, McAvoy was unlikely to be cleared in time to play in Game 5 anyway. Despite averaging 4:29 of power-play ice time over his last five contests, the 24-year-old New York native has been unable to pick up a point with the man advantage, though he has chipped in three even-strength helpers over that stretch.

Bruins' Charlie McAvoy: Late scratch due to COVID protocol
Rotowire
McAvoy has been placed in the NHL's COVID-19 protocol and will miss Sunday's Game 4 against the Hurricanes as a result.
With McAvoy's absence announced just prior to pregame warmups, the Bruins will be scrambling for a replacement. Hampus Lindholm (upper body) has already been ruled out, leaving Josh Brown as the likely choice to slot into the spot vacated by McAvoy along the blue line. Since the league is no longer testing asymptomatic players, McAvoy will likely be subjected to a five-day isolation period. If that period is backdated to Saturday, he could be back for a potential Game 6 on Thursday.
