"Top defenseman Charlie McAvoy, who left Saturday's game in the second period after taking a slapshot to the face in a scary scene, was not at the morning skate and coach Marco Sturm said there is no timeline on the blueliner at the moment. Sturm said McAvoy, who was able to travel home with the team from Montreal, was meeting with the doctors on Monday, which could produce a clearer update. Sturm said surgery is a possibility."
"While the B's planned to go with the six healthy defensemen they already had on the roster, there were a couple call-ups to bolster the forward group after Viktor Arvidsson, who suffered a lower body injury on Saturday, was placed on injured reserve. Sturm said he's out week-to-week. Casey Mittelstadt, who suffered a lower body injury on November 6, was also placed on injured reserve."
Charlie McAvoy left Saturday's game after taking a slapshot to the face and did not skate Monday; coach Marco Sturm provided no timeline and said McAvoy met with doctors and that surgery is a possibility. Viktor Arvidsson and Casey Mittelstadt were placed on injured reserve with lower-body injuries, and Elias Lindholm remains out though he participated in morning skate. Riley Tufte and Matej Blumel were recalled and inserted into the lineup to bolster the forward group. Jordan Harris was placed on Long-term Injured Reserve to create cap space. The Bruins are missing several top-six forwards and a top defenseman amid a condensed schedule.
