Bruins young prospect amazed fans with preseason performance
In the final preseason game, on back-to-back nights, when the chips were down in the third period, Matthew Poitras delivered a remarkable goal.
It was the kind of play that has fans buzzing and thinking,
"Poitras is the top-six center we've been asking for."
At just 19 years old, Poitras was once seen as a long shot to secure a spot on the NHL roster this season, mainly due to his age and the fact that he couldn't be assigned to the AHL.
However, he's been making a strong case for himself throughout the preseason.
Among Boston's forwards, the 19-year-old center has arguably been the most impactful player on the ice during preseason action.
His ability to come through in clutch moments like the one witnessed in the final preseason game has fans excited about his potential.
As Conor Ryan put it,
"Matthew Poitras does it again. I don't think he's starting the year in the OHL."
This sentiment reflects the growing belief that Poitras may have earned his place on the Bruins' NHL roster, defying the odds and making a compelling case for a regular role in the big leagues.
