Impact Poitras played provider for linemates Fabian Lysell and Alex Steeves in this contest.

Dropped to minors Poitras was reassigned to the minors Friday for AHL eligibility, Mark Divver of the New England Hockey Journal reports.

Impact Poitras is mired in a 23-game goal drought in addition to a nine-game pointless streak, so an extended stay in the minors could be good for his long-term development. Still, the Bruins will need bodies to fill out the lineup the rest of the way and will want to get a look at several young prospects, including the 20-year-old Poitras.

Leaves Thursday's game Poitras (lower body) is unlikely to return to Thursday's game versus the Islanders.

Impact Poitras was injured in the second period, and while he wasn't fully ruled out, the Bruins' update doesn't bode well for him getting back on the ice Thursday. The 20-year-old should be considered day-to-day ahead of Saturday's game versus the Penguins, which is the first half of a back-to-back set.

FEBRUARY 28, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Summoned from Providence Poitras was recalled from AHL Providence on Tuesday.

Two helpers Tuesday Poitras notched two assists in Tuesday's 3-0 win over the Wild.

Impact The 20-year-old center has a hand in second-period tallies by Charlie McAvoy and Trent Frederic, giving Jeremy Swayman all the support he would need on the night. Poitras hasn't scored a goal in 10 games since returning to the Bruins' lineup in mid-January, but he's been productive with seven assists, and he's been seeing shifts on Boston's second power-play unit.

Designated for minors Poitras was sent to AHL Providence on Sunday, Mark Divver of the New England Hockey Journal reports.

Impact The Bruins also demoted Vinni Lettieri to the Providence on Sunday, so the club currently has 11 forwards on its roster. That would imply that these transactions are a cap-saving measure.

Two-point effort in win Poitras recorded two assists in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Rangers.

Impact The 20-year-old center had a hand in two of David Pastrnak's three goals on the afternoon. Poitras snapped a brief five-game point drought with the performance, and if he continues to see even-strength shifts with Pastrnak, he could work his way onto the fantasy radar. He'll need to prove himself before being worth a roster spot in most formats, however -- since returning to the Bruins from AHL Providence in mid-January, Poitras has five assists in nine appearances.

FEBRUARY 2, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Two helpers in Monday's win Poitras logged two assists and a plus-2 rating in Monday's 6-3 win over the Sharks.

Impact Poitras was able to get on the scoresheet in his first NHL contest since Nov. 9.

He has five points, 11 shots on net and a minus-3 rating over 15 appearances and is likely to stay in a third-line role for the time being.
