Charlie McAvoy will miss his third consecutive game with an undisclosed injury when the Bruins host the San Jose Sharks on Monday (1 p.m. ET; NBCSCA, NESN).

Lindholm has been a 22-point flop. He is signed for six more seasons with no-move protection through 2029. Lindholm, 30, is practically untradeable, even if the Bruins eat part of his remaining salary.

“He’ll be out (Monday) again and then we’ll just see how he progresses after,” Bruins interim coach Joe Sacco told reporters after Sunday’s practice. “Like I said he was going to be out through the weekend then we’ll re-evaluate him after that and see where he’s at."

Boston Bruins defenseman Charlie McAvoy is still recovering from an undisclosed injury with no set return date.

"I think his game is in a better place right now. He’s a guy that deserves an opportunity, based on his play.” The post Bruins call up Matt Poitras, Charlie McAvoy lands on IR appeared first on Boston.
