Boston Bruins defensemen Charlie McAvoy and Matt Grzelcyk will be out multiple months after undergoing shoulder surgeries Friday, the team announced.
McAvoy underwent a left shoulder arthroscopic stabilization procedure in Boston and is expected to miss about six months, the team said. The former first-round pick posted 10 goals and 56 points this season for the Bruins.
Grzelcyk underwent a right shoulder open stabilization procedure, also in Boston, and he's expected to be out five months, per the team.
In addition, defenseman Mike Reilly had a procedure done in on his right ankle in Wisconsin that is expected to keep him out for about three months.
