"He was especially impactful in the B's 4-2 win over Seattle. On a night when not many Bruins had their A game and they lost Andrew Peeke early, McAvoy was a force. He played 28:00, notched a pair of assists and was plus-3. When the game was on the line late in the 6-on-5 situation and the Kraken threatening to tie it, he skated the puck out of danger and drew a penalty."
""He's playing outstanding," said Sturm after Thursday's win. "Even off the ice I feel like he's growing as a leader, too. Does a lot of the right things. Takes care of himself. He's in a good spot right now. You guys saw him more than I did in the past. I don't know how good he was here, but I was always a big fan of him. But, you're right, right now he's definitely playing the best hockey I've seen from him.""
The Bruins have won five straight and seven of eight to climb back into the Eastern Conference playoff bracket after a season of streakiness. The team endured two extended losing streaks earlier in the year and has alternated hot runs with poor stretches, though recent home play has stabilized. Road performance remains mediocre at 10-11-1, with upcoming games in Chicago and Dallas posing tests. Charlie McAvoy has elevated his game, posting strong plus/minus and ice time contributions, and Marat Khusnutdinov is emerging as a potential top-six forward.
