On Tuesday, the Boston Bruins released the following statement confirming that defenseman Charlie McAvoy was admitted to Mass General Hospital after suffering an upper-body injury that was later revealed to be a right shoulder injury and would be out for the 4 Nations Face-Off championship game on Thursday.

Bruins Team Physician Dr. Peter Asnis provided a new update regarding McAvoy on Wednesday and gave the following statement: “Charlie McAvoy sustained an injury to his right shoulder acromioclavicular joint in Team USA’s 4 Nations Face-Off game against Finland onFebruary 13,” Asnis Said. “He underwent treatment, which was administered by Team USA’s medical staff.”

“Upon returning to Boston, he developed increasing pain, for which he was evaluated by the Boston Bruins medical staff. After undergoing x-rays, MRIs, and bloodwork, he was diagnosed as having an infection in his right shoulder, as well as a significant injury to his AC joint. He underwent an irrigation and debridement procedure at Massachusetts General Hospital on February 18. He remains in the hospital, where he is being treated with IV antibiotics, and his condition is improving.”

McAvoy appeared in two games for Team USA during the 4 Nations Face-Off before missing Monday’s game against Team Sweden. The Bruins’ assistant captain was a physical presence, which included a big hit on Team Canada star Connor McDavid.

The 27-year-old former Boston University star has appeared in 50 games this season with the Bruins and has collected seven goals and 23 assists. The team has announced that McAvoy will be out “week-to-week” and is still recovering at Mass General Hospital.
