Matthew Poitras Makes A Statement Regarding The Boston Bruins
Bruins rookie Matthew Poitras has had quite the rollercoaster lately, even by pro athlete standards. Despite Team Canada's disappointment at the World Juniors, he gained valuable experience, serving as a leader on a big stage.
Back with the Bruins, Poitras jumped back into action in their impressive 7-3 win against the Tampa Bay Lightning. The 19-year-old didn't miss a beat, dishing out two assists and earning a +2 rating on a night when Boston's offence was on fire.
After the game, Poitras shared his thoughts, saying,
"It definitely felt like a good reset getting back here and getting back in the lineup... I kinda got those jitters, like your first game again... lots of excitement."
With players returning and the offence finding its groove, the Bruins are gearing up for a tough road stretch. Challenges against top-notch teams like the Avalanche and the Golden Knights, along with surprises in the Blues and Coyotes, will test their resilience. Poitras' impactful return adds a fresh spark to the Bruins' evolving lineup as they navigate the upcoming hurdles.
