While McAvoy was able to set a new personal best with 12 goals this past season, he also failed to reach the 50-point mark for the first time in three years. Part of the decline in production is no doubt from the 26-year-old blueliner's decreased power-play points, as he managed just 13 this past season despite logging a career-high 3:14 of ice time per game with the man advantage. Still, the minutes-eating defenseman should continue to log over 24 minutes of ice time per night and figures to be a lock for the 30-point threshold at a minimum, a mark he has missed just once in his seven-year NHL career, but he should be in contention to get back over 50.

Latest Fantasy Rumors

Hoping to play Thursday
McAvoy, who is dealing with an upper-body injury, is targeting a return to action versus the Jets on Thursday, Steve Conroy of the Boston Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
McAvoy has been sidelined for the Bruins' last seven games due to his upper-body issue. Prior to getting hurt, the 27-year-old defenseman was stuck in a 19-game goal drought, though he did chip in 10 helpers over that stretch to go with 33 shots, 41 hits and 37 blocks. If McAvoy does return Thursday, it will likely see Parker Wotherspoon or Jordan Oesterle dropped from the lineup.
