Boston Bruins head coach Marco Sturm and the front office are officially dealing with a massive schedule adjustment following the ultimate Olympic break.

Earlier this morning, the team shocked the dedicated local fanbase by entirely canceling their mandatory practice session at Warrior Ice Arena, temporarily throwing their preparation into absolute pure chaos.

With Tuesday's schedule also strictly left as "to be determined," fans were desperately waiting for a massive update regarding their returning international superstars.

Bruins have cancelled their Monday workout at Brighton-Warrior. Tues prax plans: TBD.

Finally, the demanding Boston media received vital information regarding the immediate status of Team USA gold medalists Charlie McAvoy and Jeremy Swayman.

Status update on McAvoy and Swayman

According to hockey insider Scott McLaughlin, the Bruins are incredibly fortunate that their first regular-season game back against heavy NHL competition isn't scheduled until Thursday night.

The strict hope inside the locker room is that both McAvoy and Swayman will successfully return to Boston and be entirely ready to hit the ice for Wednesday's mandatory practice.

Bruins are a bit fortunate they play Thursday, not Wednesday. Think they’re hoping to have McAvoy/Swayman back for Wednesday practice, but not the end of the world if it’s day of game Thursday. Maybe Korpisalo starts Thursday.

However, if unexpected travel delays or massive physical fatigue force the golden duo to strictly return on Thursday's actual game day, it won't be an absolute disaster for the coaching staff.

The Bruins could easily rely on solid execution from goaltender Joonas Korpisalo to secure the crease while Swayman and McAvoy slowly recover from their grueling international schedule.
