It appears the lower-body injury Charlie McAvoy is dealing with is healing just fine.
The Bruins defenseman was absent from Boston’s 3-2 loss to the Minnesota Wild on Thursday after blocking a few shots over its last few games. Head coach Bruce Cassidy seemed confident McAvoy would miss just the one game, and that still seems to be the case.
The Bruins took off for Florida on Friday and posted a few pictures to Twitter of some of the team getting ready to board a plane from snowy Boston to warm Tampa. McAvoy was in one of those photos and was packed and ready to go.

That’s certainly a positive sign and a likely indication he will suit up at Amalie Arena for Bruins-Lightning.
