Charlie McAvoy News: Lands six-game suspension
McAvoy received a six-game suspension from the NHL Department of Player Safety on Tuesday for slashing Buffalo's Zach Benson.
The incident occurred in Boston's series-ending loss to Buffalo on May 1 during the first round of the playoffs. As a result, the 28-year-old blueliner will serve the suspension at the start of the 2026-27 regular season. McAvoy achieved a career-high of 61 points in 69 regular-season games last season. He could replicate this performance once his suspension is over, provided he remains healthy.
