BOSTON -- United States defenseman Charlie McAvoy will miss the 4 Nations Face-Off championship game Thursday between the U.S. and Canada.
The Boston Bruins said in a statement Tuesday that McAvoy was admitted to Massachusetts General Hospital on Monday to undergo testing related to an upper-body injury. McAvoy sustained the injury during the 4 Nations Face-Off and is currently being evaluated by Bruins head team physician Dr. Peter Asnis.
McAvoy didn't play Monday in the United States' 2-1 loss to Sweden at TD Garden in Boston. The U.S. had already qualified for the championship game having won in regulation against Finland to open the tournament before beating rival Canada in its second game.
