[React] Charlie McAvoy ejected from Bruins’ win over Panthers for a high hit on Oliver Ekman Larsson

Bruin’s defenseman Charlie makoy is facing a suspension after receiving a match penalty for a hit to the head of Florida Panther’s defenseman Oliver emman lson on Monday McAvoy received a five-minute major and a game ejection for the hit which came in the third period with the game tied one to one the Bruins defenseman caught emman Larson’s head with his shoulder in front of the Panther’s net more than a second after EC Larson had played the puck the Bruins killed off the penalty eventually earning a 3 to2 overtime win to improve to 801 this season emman

Larson did not return to the game following the hit I really haven’t seen it that well saw it quickly on the scoreboard Panthers Captain Alexander barov said post game obviously the refs made the call and if if it was 5 minutes it’s 5 minutes so it was dirty I don’t know I didn’t really see it so I can’t comment on it Panther’s coach Paul Morris did not comment on the play Beyond stating that he believed makavo attempted a similar hit earlier in the game I thought it was exactly like the hit on Carter vag in

the first Morris said makavo lone care career suspension came in the 2019 playoffs when he received a one-game ban for a hit to the head of then Columbus Blue Jackets Winger Josh Anderson he is not considered a repeat offender

the 25-year-old blue liner has two goals and eight points in nine games this season for the Bruins I saw it live Bruins coach Jim Montgomery said of makavo hit I haven’t looked at it in depth the League reviews all those hits and they’ll let us know what their thoughts are and we respect how the league goes

about it I think they do a real good process there
