The 20-year-old had been skating over the last few weeks and finally rejoined the team for a full practice in a maroon &#8220;no-contact&#8221; sweater just a few days ago. McAvoy made his return on Thursday night and Tampa Bay as he was an extremely welcomed presence for a defense corps that is still without Miller, Zdeno Chara, and Urho Vaakanainen.<\/p>\n<p>McAvoy looked solid in his return, obviously there was some rust on the wheels, though. Understandable considering he missed a little under two months. McAvoy&#8217;s 21:02 of ice time with John Moore saw mistakes in the first period like a hooking penalty and an egregious turnover that led to Brayden Point&#8217;s 21st of the season. Inevitable mistakes aside, McAvoy was a friendly sight for this struggling Bruins team, registering just two shots on goal and a minus-1 rating. On a final note, McAvoy needs to shoot more, plain and simple.<\/p>\n<p>As for Miller, last week he took a John Tavares shot to the throat in the game at Toronto and quickly went to the hospital after leaving the game. After further evaluation, it was revealed that the 31-year-old sustained a cartilage injury to his larynx (ouch) and will not be reevaluated for at least another month.<\/p>\n<div class=\"embed-twitter\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">At look at the play that forced Kevan Miller to miss the end of the first period.
