Charlie McAvoy make his season debut Thursday vs. Calgary (shoulder).

McAvoy has been on the injured reserve since the off-season after undergoing shoulder surgery. He will return Bostons' lineup tonight adding a massive spark to the already 11-2-0 Bruins. In 2021-22 he was 11th among defensemen in points (56), 23rd in goals (10) and 28th in shots (166).

Charlie McAvoy is expected to make his season debut vs. the Flames Thursday (Shoulder).

McAvoy has not played this season as he recovered from eft shoulder arthroscopic stabilization surgery on June 3. McAvoy returns to the Bruins' lineup ahead of schedule and will likely slot right back in atop their top defensive pair and power-play unit. He finished 2021-22 with a career-high 10 goals and 56 points across 78 games while finishing with 21 PPP.

Charlier McAvoy was seen practising in a regular jersey Monday

McAvoy was surprisingly on the ice in a non-contact jersey Monday after missing all of the 2022-23 season so far due to off-season shoulder surgery. It was a nice surprise as McAvoy was not expected back until closer to the new year. McAvoy enjoyed a breakout season in 2021-22, reaching double-digit goals (10) for the first time while putting up 56 points (10G/46A) in 78 games played.

McAvoy (shoulder) is expected to be out until late November/early December.

McAvoy underwent a shoulder procedure in early June and the expected recovery was six months. McAvoy should miss roughly 20-to-25 games to open the season and Hampus Lindholm should play big minutes and could be the quarterback on the No.1 PP unit while McAvoy and Matt Grzelcyk are on the mend.

McAvoy (rest) will not play on Tuesday.

McAvoy is one of 16 regulars who will not be in the Bruins lineup on Tuesday. The Bruins will need to recall multiple players from their taxi squad/AHL to fill out their lineup. Steven Kampfer, who was a healthy scratch last night, should draw in to replace McAvoy.
