Charlie McAvoy wasted no time reinserting his offensive presence into the Bruins lineup on Saturday.
In his first game back from serving a four-game suspension, the alternate captain set up a goal just 36 seconds into the first period against the Montreal Canadiens.
The Bruins weren’t particularly set back by McAvoy’s absence; they went 3-1 during the stretch of his suspension. But, they sure don’t mind having his playmaking ability back on the blue line.
On his opening shift, McAvoy fired a shot from the point, seemingly searching for a deflection. Pavel Zacha got just enough of the puck to send it spiraling past Canadiens goalie Sam Montembeault.
