McAvoy Gets Six Games for Benson Slash - Bruins Face Consequences

Charlie McAvoy is staring at a six-game ban after the league came down hard for his slash on Sabres forward Zach Benson. That kind of suspension tells you the NHL thought this one crossed a line, and Boston now has to play through the fallout without one of its core defensemen. In a league where discipline often feels like it’s written in pencil, this one lands in pen. The Bruins will have to sort out their blue line while the Sabres get the satisfaction of seeing the league back their case.
