In the previous week, McAvoy encountered an upper-body injury during a match against the Buffalo Sabres, leading to an early exit from the game.
Since then, the 2016 first-round pick has been listed as day-to-day, with the optimistic expectation that he might be available for the Boston Bruins' upcoming game against the New Jersey Devils tomorrow night (Dec. 13). However, the certainty of his return remains uncertain, as indicated by a recent update.
According to Steve Conroy, McAvoy was on the ice today (Dec. 12) but refrained from participating in the team's full practice session. The absence from practice raises the possibility that McAvoy might sit out against the Devils, as noted by Conroy.
Despite this, there's a hopeful outlook that McAvoy will be in good enough condition to play, leaving fans in suspense until further developments unfold on this front.
