Morning Skate: Go west
Welcome to Tuesday, folks!
The Bruins officially slayed the Ottawa dragon yesterday, beating their surprising 2022-2023 arch-nemesis 3-1 at TD Garden.
During yesterday’s radio broadcast, Judd Sirott and Bob Beers noted that with his two assists (he’d later add a third), Charlie McAvoy was producing a close to point-per-game pace offensively this season, with both noting that he’d done it rather quietly (i.e. without a ton of external fanfare).
It surprised me too, as while we’ve all come to expect all-around outstanding play from McAvoy, the increased offensive output (39 points in 43 games) is impressive.
