Charlie McAvoy gets revenge on Andrei Svechnikov
Carolina Hurricanes forward Andrei Svechnikov caught Boston Bruins defenseman Hampus Lindholm with a massive hit in game two of their series.
It was a clean hit, but Lindholm was clearly dazed and wobbly after the big collision. Re-watch the hit below:
It's never good to see an NHL player in the shape that Lindholm was in Wednesday night after taking that hit. He left game two and did not return and also did not dress for game three in Boston. He is labelled as day-to-day with an upper-body injury as of now, but if it's a head injury, it could possibly be career-altering.
Although the hit was clean, hockey players always have their teammate's back no matter what. Charlie McAvoy has been Lindholm's partner since the Bruins acquired him at the NHL Trade Deadline on March 21st.
McAvoy obviously remembered who hit his d-partner and made sure to get a little retribution on the Hurricanes forward. Watch the hit on Svechnikov in the video below:
