A lawsuit has been launched by John Carlson of the Washington Capitals and Charlie McAvoy of the Boston Bruins alleging a company used their likeness without consent.

Papers filed in a New York courtroom contain six complaints against the company IF Management by two defensemen in the NHL. Both John Carlson of the Washington Capitals, and Charlie McAvoy of the Boston Bruins alleging their likeness was used without an agreement in place. The paperwork asks for a jury trial.

The six complaints listed are serious, should Carlson and McAvoy be able to prove that it happened.

No trial date has yet been set, nor has IF management filed a rebuttal. No mention of monetary compensation is made in the papers. It's possible this could be settled out of court long before anyone gets the chance to appear before a judge.

Both Carlson and McAvoy are taking part in game ones of the first round tonight with Carlson's Capitals up against the New York Rangers, and McAvoy's Bruins taking on the Toronto Maple Leafs. McAvoy is loving the chance to meet with Maple Leafs in the post season once again.
