Ideally, Saturday night would've been a casual stroll to an easy two points against the lowly Canadiens and everyone would've gone home feeling good.
Instead, Bruins fans will now be holding their breath awaiting further updates on stud defenseman Charlie McAvoy, who left the ice 37 seconds into Saturday's game after appearing to get slashed on the the foot by Brendan Gallagher. The Bruins announced a short time later that McAvoy had a lower body injury and was unlikely to return to the game.
Obviously, losing the McAvoy would be a big blow to a Bruins team that's already without Patrice Bergeron for at least two weeks. The rookie has played 22:29 per game this season, second on the team behind only his veteran D partner, Zdeno Chara.
