Bruins' Charlie McAvoy: Nets power-play goal

McAvoy is up to eight points in 17 games in the playoffs, having missed the first game of the Eastern Conference finals due to suspension. The 21-year-old blueliner has added 32 hits and 36 blocked shots during the postseason run.

Bruins' Charlie McAvoy: Eligible to return from suspension

Steve Kampfer did an admirable job filling in for McAvoy in Game 1, scoring a goal while logging 14:56 of ice time, but he'll likely head back to the press box for Game 2. McAvoy, who's notched six points while posting a plus-8 rating in 13 games this postseason, will return to his role skating on the Bruins' top pairing and first power-play unit Sunday.

Bruins' Charlie McAvoy: Handed suspension

McAvoy delivered a vicious check to the unsuspecting Anderson, but he was only assessed a two-minute minor in Monday's Game 6. Following his hearing with the league, he's set to miss Game 1 of the Eastern Conference finals. In his stead, Matt Grzelcyk figures to see an uptick in playing time, especially on the power play, and Steve Kampfer or John Moore could draw into the lineup as the team's sixth defenseman.

Bruins' Charlie McAvoy: Facing potential suspension

If McAvoy does get handed a suspension, it will stretch the depth of a Boston blue line that is already dealing with the extended absences of John Moore (upper body) and Kevan Miller (lower body). Depending on the health of Moore and Miller, a suspension for McAvoy would likely see Steve Kampfer back in the lineup, while Matt Grzelcyk figures to see an uptick in ice time. A decision by the league should be made ahead of Game 1 of the Eastern Conference finals versus Carolina.

Bruins' Charlie McAvoy: Picks up assist

With helpers in back-to-back games, McAvoy now has five points total this postseason through nine games. He skated 30:39 total -- the second-highest time on ice in his career behind a first-round game in the 2017 playoffs saw him skate 31:14.
