Team USA defenseman Charlie McAvoy remains hospitalized at Massachusetts General with "an infection in his right shoulder as well as a significant injury to his AC joint," the Boston Bruins announced Wednesday.
His status for the NHL season, which restarts Saturday, is unclear. The 27-year-old is Boston's top defenseman, with 23 points in 50 games and 23:40 in average ice time per game.
According to Bruins head team physician Dr. Peter Asnis, McAvoy sustained an injury in his right shoulder's acromioclavicular joint in Team USA's 4 Nations Face-Off game against Finland on Feb.
