Boston Bruins defenseman Charlie McAvoy demonstrated resilience and skill during a game, returning to the ice shortly after sustaining a heavy hit from Adam Lowry. Despite appearing to be in distress and showing signs of pain on the bench, particularly with his right shoulder and left leg, McAvoy continued to participate in the game, notably being present for a power play. His commitment was highlighted by a remarkable defensive play where he saved the Bruins from conceding a goal by batting a puck out of mid-air with a backhand motion.
