Stat of the day: McAvoy was in the midst of a bounce-back season, recording 14 assists over 19 games while averaging 23:46 of ice time before his injury.

Notes: Without key lineup regulars for the Bruins, a two-goal second period from Carolina sent the team to the Monday loss. Only Riley Tufte’s goal in the final 10 seconds kept them from being shut out for the first time this season. … Tufte and Matej Blumel both were called up from AHL affiliate Providence for Monday’s game. It was the season debut for both. … The Ducks snapped their first three-game losing streak of the season Monday, coming from behind to beat the visiting Utah Mammoth 3-2 in overtime. Troy Terry scored the game-tying goal with 4.1 seconds left in regulation, setting the stage for Olen Zellweger’s winner at 1:50 of the extra session. … Anaheim scored just four goals across its three-game skid — road defeats to the Avalanche, Red Wings and Wild — which was preceded by a seven-game winning streak. … Boston College fans will recognize a few names on Anaheim roster, which features a quartet of Eagles. Cutter Gauthier is the club’s leading goal scorer with 12, while Chris Kreider is third at 10. Nikita Nesterenko has played in all but two of Anaheim’s games this season, and defenseman Drew Helleson has appeared in all 19 games. … A pair of Harvard products also skate for the Ducks in forward Alex Killorn, now in his 14th season, and defenseman Ian Moore, a native of Concord who played at St. Mark’s.
