Charlie McAvoy Boston Bruins injury
Yesterday, the Boston Bruins put out a statement noting that McAvoy had been admitted to the hospital due to an infection stemming from his injury.
On Wednesday morning, the Bruins revealed that McAvoy's initial treatment on his shoulder injury went wrong and it led to an infection that required a procedure.
As it stands, McAvoy is still in the hospital and he is in the midst of recovering from the injury.
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.»
This is a very concerning update as it is clear that the injury and the ensuing infection was a bit worse than some were initially letting on.
Following the news about McAvoy, Team USA called up Quinn Hughes although unless the team suffers another injury, he cannot play.
Whatever the case may be, you can't help but feel for McAvoy right now as this is a pretty scary situation.
Meanwhile, his team prepares for Thursday night as Team Canada and Team USA face off in the 4 Nations Final.
