The last time the Boston Bruins had gone 18 games without a regulation loss was the 1968-1969 season. The blueline sensation on that Bruins team? You may have heard of him, his name was Bobby Orr. That was Orr’s third season in the NHL.
This 2017-2018 Bruins team likewise features one young, blueline sensation. Unfortunately, stud rookie Charlie McAvoy was absent from Tuesday night’s loss against the Anaheim Ducks, and will be possibly for a few more games. McAvoy has gotten back on the ice, but he remains out after undergoing a procedure to correct an irregular heartbeat, but could be back Saturday.
