Charlie McAvoy's hit on Bobby Brink takes a wild turn as Bruins get crushed

Charlie McAvoy landed a hit on Bobby Brink during Saturday night's game at TD Garden, and both players were then called for roughing as the Minnesota Wild rolled to a 6-2 win over the Boston Bruins.

Video of the wild moment is making the rounds on X, and the NHL may take an extra peek at this to see if further discipline is warranted.

The official play-by-play credits McAvoy with the hit, then lists roughing penalties against each player.

Brink, a former Philadelphia Flyers winger who signed a one-year, $2.75 million deal with Minnesota on June 30, finished with an assist on Blake Coleman's goal that made it 3-0 and logged 9:21 of ice time.

McAvoy was credited with two hits and ended the night minus-3.

Discipline is a storyline for McAvoy this season.

He opened the year serving a six-game suspension for a slash in last spring's playoffs.

Earlier in this game, a cross-checking minor sent him to the box, and Ryan Hartman scored seconds after it expired to make it 1-0.

The Bruins fell to 13-6-1 and lost back-to-back home games for the first time this season, following Thursday's 5-2 loss to the Montreal Canadiens.

Hartman and Danila Yurov each scored twice for Minnesota (15-3-4), which has earned a point in 11 straight games.

Kirill Kaprizov added two assists to stretch his own point streak to 11.

Fraser Minten scored on the power play, and David Pastrnak also found the net for Boston.

McAvoy brings the edge Boston wants from its top defenseman, but a night spent chasing the game is a costly time to hand out penalty minutes.

The Bruins close their four-game homestand Tuesday against the Los Angeles Kings.
