It was really not pretty to watch!

Here's another clip that shows just how serious the damage might be:
We sincerely hope that the young McAvoy is okay.
At the time of writing, the Montreal Canadiens are trailing the Bruins 3-2 at the Bell Centre, following a beautiful goal scored by Cole Caufield.
The Boston Bruins have now confirmed that McAvoy will not return to tonight's game.
