It’s hard to believe, but it seems that Boston Bruins defensemen Charlie McAvoy is getting better with each game the Boston Bruins play in the 2021 Stanley Cup playoffs. Just ask the New York islanders.
After recording five assists in five games in the Bruins’ first-round series win over the Washington Capitals, Boston’s 23-year-old first-round pick in the 2016 Entry Draft is having an even better second-round series against the Islanders and the series is just three games old.
