McAvoy scores in his 1st game back from a suspension to lead the Bruins past the Sharks 6-3

SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) — Charlie McAvoy scored in his season debut after serving a six-game suspension and the Boston Bruins beat the San Jose Sharks 6-3 on Tuesday night. McAvoy missed the first six games of the season as punishment for slashing Buffalo's Zach Benson late in Game 6 of the first round of the playoffs last season when the Bruins got eliminated. He didn't take long to make an impact as he got in front of the crease and knocked in a pass from JJ Peterka late in the first period to give Boston a 2-1 lead.
