Matthew Poitras Suffers Year Ending Surgery

The Boston Bruins delivered disappointing news to their fans regarding forward Matthew Poitras's availability for the remainder of the 2023-24 season.

Poitras underwent a surgical procedure known as right shoulder open stabilization, rendering him unable to play for at least the next five months.

The announcement came shortly after Bruins Medical Director Dr. Peter Asnis confirmed the procedure's success and provided details on Poitras's expected recovery time. General Manager Don Sweeney expressed regret over Poitras's absence, emphasizing the team's support for his decision to prioritize his health.

Poitras, who has played 33 out of Boston's initial 49 games this season, contributed five goals and 10 assists. Despite his absence, the team remains optimistic about his future with the Bruins and wishes him a swift recovery for a strong return next season.
