"I wish the hits would stop coming, honestly. It is tiring. My mouth, honestly, couldn't feel worse. But I'll get some work. We have a really good dentist here who is great. I am just really happy we got two points tonight."
"The 2025-26 season has seen McAvoy reach new heights on the frozen sheet. But at a grueling physical cost. The 28-year-old blueliner is playing some of the best hockey of his career for Boston - keeping an upstart roster in a playoff spot with his seventh tally of the season on Tuesday night on Causeway Street."
"His hopes of an injury-free campaign were snuffed out when he took a slapshot directly to the mouth in a road win over the Canadiens on Nov. 15 - fracturing his jaw, knocking out multiple teeth, and forcing doctors to insert a metal plate into the cracked joint."
Charlie McAvoy scored the overtime-winning goal in the Bruins' 2-1 victory over the Los Angeles Kings, extending Boston's home winning streak to 13 games. However, McAvoy's physical toll this season has been significant. He suffered a fractured jaw, lost multiple teeth, and required a metal plate insertion after taking a slapshot to the mouth during a November 15 game against Montreal. Despite these injuries, the 28-year-old defenseman has played some of the best hockey of his career, recently helping Team USA win Olympic gold. McAvoy expressed frustration about the constant physical punishment, noting his mouth couldn't feel worse and requiring immediate dental work after the game.
