McAvoy is week-to-week after a procedure to clear out an infection on Tuesday.

Boston announced Tuesday that their star defenseman Charlie McAvoy would be out week-to-week after he had a procedure to clear out an infection amidst the Four Nations Tournament. It's a massive loss for the Bruins as the 27-year-old had seven goals, 23 points, 98 SOG and 46 PIMs in 50 games to start the season. The Bruins' team physician made a statement on Wednesday indicating that McAvoy remains in the hospital, being treated with IV antibiotics, but his condition is improving.

Lauko has been placed on IR with a lower-body injury.

Lauko missed a month in December due to a lower-body injury and returns to the sidelines again. It's unclear if this injury is related to his previous one that caused him to miss 15 consecutive games. The 24-year-old Czech forward is averaging 9:56 time-on-ice and has five points (2G / 3A) in 33 games this season.

Swayman saved 22 of 25 shots (.880 SV%) in his most recent outing, a 6-3 win over the New York Rangers, and will return to the crease on Tuesday against the Minnesota Wild. After a poor start to the season, Swayman has been more reliable lately despite an unfavorable 6-7-1 record, posting a serviceable .908 SV% in his last 14 games. The Bruins enter Tuesday's contest as -126 home favorites against a Wild club coming off a forgetful 6-0 loss to the Ottawa Senators.
