One Bruin,
Matthew Poitras, welcomes this break at a crucial juncture. His struggles since returning from the World Juniors, following Team Canada's unexpected early exit, are evident. With 0 goals and 2 assists in 6 games and an injury sidelining him for one, Poitras has been out of rhythm. As the Bruins eye the playoff stretch with 32 games remaining, the team's success hinges on players like him being at their best. The looming prospect of playing into June intensifies the need for a healthy and ready roster.
