Bruins ink McAvoy to entry-level deal

The Boston Bruins have signed defenseman Charlie McAvoy to a three-year, entry-level contract, the team announced Monday.

The deal comes two weeks after the Bruins signed the 19-year-old to an amateur tryout. In that time, he played four games for the club's American Hockey League affiliate, the Providence Bruins, where he picked up two assists.

McAvoy was chosen 14th overall in the 2016 draft and is coming off a career-best season with Boston University, collecting five goals and 26 points in 38 games.

He is expected to join the team for practice Monday.
