    Bruins' Charlie McAvoy faces suspension for slash after he was slew-footed

    May 2, 2026Updated May 3, 2026, 3:56 p.m. ETBoston Bruins defenseman Charlie McAvoy is looking at a long suspension after being ejected for slashing in Game 6 against the Buffalo Sabres on Friday, May 1.NHL Player Safety said McAvoy was offered an in-person hearing for slashing the Sabres' Zach Benson, whose dangerous play led to McAvoy's retaliation. That means a possible suspension of six games or more. No date or time was announced for the hearing.The incident happened during the final minutes of the Sabres' series-clinching win against the Bruins.Benson tripped McAvoy with a slew foot, receiving a two-minute penalty. That type of play is dangerous because the recipient of a slew foot is unable to brace himself as he falls.McAvoy, who has dealt with a broken jaw and lost teeth this season, got up and went after Benson with a baseball-swing slash. He received five minutes and a game misconduct.Generally, a slew foot leads to a fine rather than a suspension. No supplemental discipline was announced for Benson as of 3 p.m. ET on Saturday, May 2.Any suspension that McAvoy receives would be served next season because his team has been eliminated from the playoffs.
