BREAKING: NHL Suspended Star Bruins Defenseman

The NHL Department of Player Safety has suspended Bruins defenseman Charlie McAvoy for his hit on Oliver Ekman-Larsson.

Last night Bruins defenseman Charlie McAvoy laid an incredibly dirty hit on Panthers defenseman Oliver Ekman-Larsson that saw McAvoy get ejected.

Today he had a meeting with the DOPS and his fate has now been confirmed.

While it may seem like it is a solid suspension, the hit on Ekman-Larsson makes it arguable that there should have been more games.

The Bruins will now be without McAvoy for a few games and despite their hot start, they will now be without a few key players.
