ANAHEIM, Calif. \u2014 Charlie McAvoy has undergone facial surgery, according to Boston Bruins coach Marco Sturm. There is no timeline as to when McAvoy will return but the defenseman will not be available during the Bruins\u2019 current four-game road trip.<\/p>\n

Sturm did not get into specifics about the procedure or when it took place. McAvoy was injured<\/a> on Nov. 15 during the Bruins\u2019 3-2 win over the Montreal Canadiens when he was hit by a Noah Dobson slap shot. McAvoy traveled to Boston with his teammates after the game.<\/p>\n

McAvoy has no goals and 14 assists in 19 games. He is leading the Bruins with 23:46 of average ice time per game.<\/p>\n

Sturm shuffled his defense for Wednesday\u2019s game against the Anaheim Ducks. Jonathan Aspirot will play in McAvoy\u2019s spot next to Nikita Zadorov. Hampus Lindholm will play with Henri Jokiharju. Mason Lohrei and Andrew Peeke will play together.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe just want to try something different,\u201d Sturm said. \u201cOther guys have to step up. That\u2019s the bottom line. It can\u2019t be Zadorov and Lindholm all the time. We need more guys to step up. Hopefully, switching the pairs and players, maybe it\u2019s going to help us.\u201d<\/p>\n
