  "account": "San Jose, California (AP) - In his first game back from a six-game suspension, Charlie McAvoy scored a goal and the Boston Bruins defeated the San Jose Sharks 6-3 on Tuesday night. McAvoy had served the punishment for slashing Buffalo's Zach Benson during the first round of playoff games last season. He quickly made his presence felt, scoring the first Bruins goal with a pass from JJ Peterka in the first period, putting Boston ahead 2-1. Fraser Minten added two goals, while Matthew Poitras and Pavel Zacha also scored for the Bruins. Will Borgen contributed an empty-net goal. Jeremy Swayman made 35 saves for the Bruins, while Ivar Stenberg scored his first career goal for the Sharks, along with Macklin Celebrini and Jacob Trouba. Yaroslav Askarov made 20 saves for San Jose. McAvoy, the No. 2 overall draft pick in June, played a crucial role in the Bruins' victory. The Bruins will next visit Anaheim on Friday night, while the Sharks will travel to Nashville on Thursday night.",
