During the prior week, McAvoy sustained an upper-body injury in a game versus the Buffalo Sabres, prompting an early departure. Since then, the 2016 first-round draft pick has been labeled day-to-day, with optimism that he could potentially join the Boston Bruins for their upcoming match against the New Jersey Devils (Dec. 13). However, the certainty of his return remains uncertain, as indicated by a recent update.
Reportedly, Steve Conroy mentioned that McAvoy was on the ice (Dec. 12) but refrained from engaging in the team's full practice. Conroy suggested the possibility that McAvoy might not participate against the Devils.
Despite this, there remains hope that McAvoy's condition will permit him to play, leaving fans eagerly anticipating further updates on this matter.
