About this episode

Charlie McAvoy faces a six-game suspension to start the season after a slashing incident, impacting the Bruins significantly.

Bruins defenseman Charlie McAvoy is suspended for six games to start the season after slashing an opponent in May — a penalty he admits was wrong but says was a reaction to being tripped. Despite appealing and attending an in-person hearing, the league upheld its decision. This marks his third suspension, following prior discipline in 2019 and 2023. McAvoy, who led Boston in ice time last year and set a career-high with 61 points, will miss the opener against the Rangers on Sept. 29. Though sidelined by a broken hand this offseason, he’s recovered and eager to return for his 10th NHL season, seeking redemption and team success after a tough finish last year.
