When Charlie McAvoy took a puck to the face on Nov. 15 against the Montreal Canadiens off a deflected shot, it didn't look good. When he was placed on injured reserve, it wouldn't have been surprising that fans didn't see the Boston Bruins' top defenseman for a couple of months.
Guess again.
After a month out, McAvoy made his return on Thursday night in the Black and Gold's 6-3 win over the Winnipeg Jets to improve to 2-0-0 on their three-game road trip. McAvoy played 24:16 in his return with one assist and four shots on goal.
