Bruins Plan to Reduce Charlie McAvoy’s Penalty Kill Load

Charlie McAvoy has never been short on responsibilities with the Boston Bruins.

The Bruins' top defenseman has played in all situations throughout his career, but last season he saw a heavier load on the penalty kill. McAvoy averaged 2:48 of shorthanded ice time per game, the most on the team, while his 193:38 of total shorthanded ice time was the highest mark of his career.
