Charlie McAvoy returns to Bruins lineup after injury recovery
Boston Bruins defenseman Charlie McAvoy has returned to the active roster after recovering from injury. The 27-year-old, originally drafted by the team in 2016, rejoined training in December and is now cleared to play again. His return follows a facial injury that kept him sidelined in recent weeks.
McAvoy was Boston’s first-round pick (14th overall) in the 2016 NHL Entry Draft. Since then, he has played 523 NHL games—all with the Bruins—scoring 60 goals and adding 254 assists for a total of 314 points.
McAvoy’s return provides Boston with an experienced defenseman who has consistently contributed offensively. His career totals and recent performance highlight his importance to the team’s backline. The Bruins now have a key player back in action for the remainder of the season.
