Charlie McAvoy Should Expect a Call From the NHL's DoPS

Monday in Boston, at the 09:28 mark of the third period, Boston Bruins D-Man Charlie McAvoy was given a 5-minute match penalty for this hit on Oliver Ekman-Larsson. It was an unnecessary, dirty hit, there was no reason for this hit. For his efforts, McAvoy will probably get at least a one or two-game suspension. Luckily, it didn't cost the Bruins the game. 

Charlie McAvoy can expect a call from Player Safety tomorrow... maybe he should plan a short vacation, say, 3-4 games or so.

The Bruins were able to kill the penalty and rallied for a 3-2 win in overtime. Bruins forward Pavel Zacha scored the game-winning goal at the 3:36 mark of overtime. What a beautiful goal by Zacha.
