Charlie McAvoy, a top defenseman for Team USA and the Boston Bruins, is hospitalized with a shoulder infection and a significant AC joint injury, causing uncertainty about his NHL season participation. The injury occurred during a face-off against Finland on February 13, 2025. Despite showing strong performance in the tournament, including a notable hit on Connor McDavid, McAvoy was eventually sidelined due to worsening pain. After medical evaluations, he underwent a procedure and is currently being treated with IV antibiotics, with his condition reportedly improving.
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.
It's tough. Charlie is a terrific hockey player and he's a big part of this team. He's played extremely well through this tournament.
