If you were looking for good news on Charlie McAvoy, today isn’t your day.

The severity of McAvoy’s injury, as well as a possible timetable to return, both remain unclear. However, the fact he’s been placed on IR 12 days after suffering the injury — players must be out for at least seven days after getting injured to qualify for IR — suggests the Bruins expect him to miss extended time.
The third-year blueliner has one goal and five assists through seven games this season.
