[byline]
ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — Boston Bruins defenseman Charlie McAvoy had surgery Wednesday to repair facial injuries and will be sidelined indefinitely.
McAvoy was hit in the mouth by Noah Dobson’s slap shot Saturday in the second period of Boston’s 3-2 victory in Montreal.
“He’s doing good,” Bruins coach Marco Sturm said before Boston’s game against Anaheim. “He’s recovering right now at home. We still don’t know how long he’s going to be out for.”
McAvoy has 14 assists in 19 games this season.
