USA Hockey announced today, January 30, that Bruins defenseman Charlie McAvoy has been selected as an assistant captain for Team USA for the 2025 4 Nations Face-Off. McAvoy was named alternate captain for the Bruins at the start of the 2023-24 season.

On top of welcoming his first child with his wife, Kiley, on Sunday, the Boston Bruins defenseman was named an alternate captain for Team USA for the upcoming NHL 4 Nations Face-Off tournament.

Charlie McAvoy and Brandon Carlo will both be back on the Bruins blue line leaving Hampus Lindholm as the only defenseman missing. Mark Kastelic remains out of the lineup, but there was good news on him as well as he was back at morning skate on Thursday.

The Bruins are set to receive a lift in the coming days, as Hampus Lindholm and Charlie McAvoy were regular participants in practice Monday.

Trying to bounce back from yet another brutal loss, the Bruins could be getting their best all-around defenseman back for Thursday's game against the Jets.

A debate has arisen regarding whether the Boston Bruins should demote top defenseman Charlie McAvoy once he returns to the lineup. Charlie McAvoy has been out of the lineup since Jan.

If the Bruins are going to lock down one of the eight playoff seeds in the East, the hope rests largely on Charlie McAvoy's broad shoulders, along with those of Hampus Lindholm.

McAvoy (upper body) will be back in the lineup versus Winnipeg on Thursday, Joe Haggerty of Boston Sports Journal reports.

Also receiving the honour of being named to their respective leadership group is Maple Leafs star William Nylander, who will represent Team Sweden

Through 53 games this season, the Boston Bruins have played all but two of the National Hockey League's other 31 squads.

Mason Lohrei’s has seen extended icetime this year. The ups and downs have been predictable, but he hopes they will be beneficial in the long run.
