The Bruins and Canadiens met for the first time last night at the Bell Centre, when Noah Dobson let off a heavy slapshot from the point that hit Charlie McAvoy right in the face.

Watching the play happen, things did not look good, but now some new details have been released on the incident, and the Bruins received some good news.

McAvoy was sitting right in front of the Bruins' net whenever Noah Dobson let a shot go from the point.

The puck got slightly deflected on it's way to the net and ended up hitting McAvoy square in the jaw.

After being hit directly in the face by the slapshot, McAvoy ended up dropping to the ice immediately.

It was a scary scene for everyone in attendance and everyone watching the game.

There was visible blood on the ice, and watching the video, you can see a tooth ended up flying out of his mouth.

Along with that, the reaction of players around on the ice showed just the magnitude of how serious the situation was.
