The Boston Bruins defenseman Charlie McAvoy got injured in a game for Team USA at the 4 Nations Face-Off. Fans were expecting the worst after reports confirmed he was admitted to the hospital yesterday.
In breaking news, Frank Seravalli and Pierre LeBrun, two of the best NHL insiders, revealed details of the star defenseman injury:
His status for the Finals against Team Canada hasn't been confirmed yet, but with two days before the big game, American fans hope that he'll be able to recover enough to take part in the crucial game.
He's been having a key role in Team USA's success. While he hasn't been able to add his name to the scoresheet in his first two games of the tournament, he's been playing a lot of minutes against the opponent's top lines and brought a big physical presence at the United States' blue line.
The Boston Bruins are set to release an official update on their player later this morning.
Considering that the Detroit Red Wings and Ottawa Senators have surprisingly been making a push in the Atlantic Division's playoff race, the Bruins, who are still in the race, could have a say in what's to come for McAvoy.
If they don't want to take any risks, they could decide to pull him out of the final game, limiting risks of aggravating his injury ahead of the last stretch of the NHL regular season.
