Injury Report: Bruins ‘24- ‘25 Injured List

Another step closer​

Charlie McAvoy shed his red, noncontact jersey for practice, taking a regular turn in rushes and drills as he takes the next step in his rehab from a shoulder injury and subsequent infection.

There is still no timeline for the defenseman to see game action.

“What I’m trying to do right now is just rehab the best I can, try and work every single day to put myself in a position to potentially play this year, and what will happen will happen,” he said. “But to be a part of the group every day to try and set an example, to try and get closer every day with these guys to build relationships, that’s what I’m identifying right now as really what I’m trying to do.”
 
He's looking good to be ready for training camp. The tank has it's full complement of crew members right now, no room for Charlie in there.
Agreed, although I’ll be more than a little annoyed if he doesn’t play for the Bruins and goes right to team USA in the worlds as soon as the season is over.

Agreed. There might be some issue in there though where they want a game conditions test or two to see if he's good to go or what kind of additional rehab and training he needs in the summer so if that's the case him playing the last couple games wouldn't surprise me either.

I'd be a little annoyed if he goes to Worlds, but probably for a different reason.

He already got injured in a meaningless exhibition tournament this year. costing him 2 months I really don't want him going to another one . Time to focus on his health and next season
 

BOSTON — The Boston Bruins have been playing without Charlie McAvoy and Mark Kastelic for several weeks, and it’s unclear if either player will return before the regular season ends.

McAvoy and Kastelic both practiced in regular sweaters on Wednesday, but interim coach Joe Sacco said there’s still no timeline for either player.

McAvoy suffered a significant AC joint injury and infection in his shoulder that landed him in the hospital for three nights during the NHL 4 Nations Face-Off.

Kastelic returned to Boston during the Bruins’ road trip out west last month with an upper-body injury. The forward has been a bright spot on the fourth line for the Bruins this season between his willingness to drop the gloves, and his five goals and nine assists are both career highs.

Pavel Zacha and Nikita Zadorov both didn’t practice on Wednesday. Sacco said it was a maintenance day for Zacha, who is expected to play Thursday against the Chicago Blackhawks.

Zadorov was excused to deal with a family matter. The defenseman’s status for Thursday’s game is unknown.
