The Boston Bruins could get a major piece back in action on Thursday, with star defenseman Charlie McAvoy finally off the team’s injured reserve amid a long absence due to injury.
Bruins general manager Don Sweeney made the announcement on Friday that McAvoy has been added back to the active roster, via the team’s official website.
McAvoy has missed nearly a month of action thus far because of a fracture after taking a slap shot to his face during a Nov. 15 game against the Montreal Canadiens on the road.
