Season Over for Bruins' Charlie McAvoy and Mark Kastelic
Boston Bruins acting coach Joe Sacco confirmed on Thursday that defenseman Charlie McAvoy and forward Mark Kastelic will not be returning for the remainder of the season.
The Bruins have been eliminated from playoff contention and have three regular-season games left, beginning with Thursday's home game against Chicago.
Sacco stated that McAvoy (shoulder) and Kastelic (upper body) have shown improvement, but there is simply not enough time for them to be cleared by the medical staff.
