Charlie McAvoy will miss his third consecutive game with an undisclosed injury when the Bruins host the San Jose Sharks on Monday (1 p.m. ET; NBCSCA, NESN).

Boston Bruins defenseman Charlie McAvoy (upper body) will miss a third consecutive game on Monday against San Jose. He continues to nurse an upper-body injury, and it's unclear when Boston will get him back.

BOSTON — Charlie Coyle scored a pair of third-period goals, stealing the spotlight from fellow Boston University product Macklin Celebrini in his first game back at the TD Garden as an NHLer and leading the Bruins to a 6-3 victory over San Jose on Monday.

The Boston Bruins came from behind in the third period to get a 6-3 win over the San Jose Sharks, avoiding what would have been a disastrous loss. And it was two of the kids - Matt Poitras and Mason Lohrei - who helped lead the way.

Charlie Coyle is only wearing a letter on his jersey for as long as Charlie McAvoy is out. But the Bruins veteran scored two times within six minutes in the third period to lead Boston to a victory in what would have been a back-breaking loss into a victory.

Boston Bruins defenseman Charlie McAvoy is still recovering from an undisclosed injury with no set return date.

The Bruins are starting to see the benefits of giving youngsters like Matt Poitras and Mason Lohrei more reps. Read more on Boston.com.
