Bruins' Charlie McAvoy: Big night in OT win

The young blueliner had just one point (an assist) in 10 games since returning to action from a foot injury, so the offensive outburst was a welcome sight. McAvoy now has two goals and 14 points through 28 games on the season, but he has the talent to pick up the pace down the stretch if he can avoid further injuries.

Bruins' Charlie McAvoy: Leads defense in loss

While McAvoy went pointless in the game, he did record three shots on goal, four hits, five blocks and two penalty minutes during the contest. Early season injuries have slowed down the sophomore's offensive output, as he has only 12 points in 27 games.

Bruins' Charlie McAvoy: Notches first point since return

The assist is McAvoy's first point since returning from a foot injury Jan 12. The young defenseman has looked good when he's played but has unfortunately been limited with injuries, skating in only 21 games and registering 12 points.

Bruins' Charlie McAvoy: Ready to roll Saturday

McAvoy has been activated from injured reserve following a seven-game injury layoff. The burgeoning defenseman has had trouble staying healthy this season, as evidenced by the fact that he's only drawn into 17 games this season. McAvoy's produced a goal and 10 helpers over that span to return value in just about any fantasy setting, but he's still seeking that elusive power-play point in 2018-19. Unfortunately, he's not expected to see any immediate time on the man advantage upon his return.

Bruins' Charlie McAvoy: Could return to action Saturday

An announcement on that front, either way, will arrive Saturday, with Cassidy adding that once McAvoy re-enters the Bruins lineup, either Matt Grzelcyk or John Moore will be the odd man out in the team's blue-line corps. McAvoy, who has been sidelined of late by a foot infection, has had trouble staying healthy this season, but when he has played, the 21-year-old has been effective enough to merit fantasy consideration, having logged a goal and 11 points in 17 games to go along with a plus-4 rating.
