Bruins coach Marco Sturm provided an update, stating that McAvoy is recovering at home. However, the exact timeline for his return remains uncertain. "He’s doing good," Sturm mentioned before Boston’s game against Anaheim. "We still don’t know how long he’s going to be out for."
Before the injury, McAvoy had been a key player for the Bruins, contributing 14 assists in 19 games this season.
