Matthew Poitras - Page 3 - NHL News & Rumors

Returning Saturday Poitras (shoulder) is expected to return to the lineup Saturday against Montreal, Steve Conroy of the Boston Herald reports.

Impact Poitras was originally labeled doubtful for the contest, though it appears he'll suit up after all after missing Boston's last four games. The 19-year-old rookie has five goals and 15 points in 30 games this season.

Doubtful Saturday Per Steve Conroy of the Boston Herald, Poitras (shoulder) is unlikely to play Saturday versus Montreal, according to coach Jim Montgomery.

Impact Poitras has already missed four games and Montomery said Friday that he has 'a couple of boxes to check' before returning to the lineup. Poitras has been practicing and it appears that he could return as early as Monday in Winnipeg. Poitras has seen lots of action on the top two lines, but he has settled into a bottom-two center of late.

Won't play Thursday Poitras (shoulder) isn't available for Thursday's game against Colorado, per Fluto Shinzawa of The Athletic.

Impact It will be Boston's fourth straight contest without Poitras. He has five goals and 15 points in 30 contests this season. When healthy, Poitras will likely serve in a bottom-six capacity.

Game-time call Thursday Poitras (shoulder) will be reevaluated ahead of Thursday's clash with Colorado.

Impact Poitras looks poised to return from a three-game absence due to his shoulder injury, though he hasn't been officially cleared to play. The Ontario native remains mired in a nine-game goal drought during which he recorded a mere six shots. The 19-year-old center did chip in five helpers over that stretch, continuing to produce even when the goals aren't coming. If Poitras plays against the Avs, it would likely mean a return to the press box for Oskar Steen.

Won't play Monday Poitras (shoulder) won't suit up in Monday's contest versus the Devils.

Impact Poitra will miss his third straight contest, but he is trending in the right direction after skating Monday morning. The 19-year-old rookie has five goals, 15 points and 38 shots on net in 30 games this season.

Ruled out Thursday Poitras (shoulder) won't play against Vegas on Thursday but remains day-to-day and is still traveling with the team, Fluto Shinzawa of The Athletic reports.

Impact Poitras has recorded two assists in three games since returning from the World Junior Championship but has yet to put a shot on net. In fact, the youngster hasn't scored a goal since Nov. 27 against Columbus. Without Poitras available, Pavel Zacha and Charlie Coyle will feature as the first and second-line centers, respectively.

Can't finish contest Poitras suffered an apparent shoulder injury in Tuesday's game versus the Coyotes, Kevin Paul Dupont of The Boston Globe reports.

Impact Poitras delivered a check in the third period but came out of the situation worse for wear. He should be considered day-to-day ahead of Thursday's game in Vegas. If Poitras has to miss time, Jakub Lauko or Oskar Steen could get into the lineup.

JANUARY 7, 2024 • NHL.COM

Back with Boston Poitras has returned to the Bruins on Thursday, after playing for Team Canada at the 2024 World Junior Championship, Eric Russo of NHL.com reports.

Impact Poitras had two goals and a pair of assists in five games as Canada was eliminated in the quarter-finals by Czechia 3-2. Poitras will sit out Thursday as he adjusts to the time change as the tournament was held in Sweden. Poitras has played well for the Bruins this season, scoring five goals and adding eight assists in 27 games. The Bruins still have the option to return Poitras to OHL Guelph as he is still 19-years-old, but Poitras has played very well at the NHL level and it may be difficult to send him back to junior.

Two points in losing effort Poitras scored an even-strength goal and added a power-play assist in Saturday's 5-4 loss to the Red Wings.

Impact The 19-year-old scored a slick goal midway through the first period by deking Ville Husso out of his shorts and tucking the puck into the net on his backhand, before Poitras helped set up David Pastrnak for Boston's final tally in the third. The 2022 second-round pick has four goals and seven points in 11 games for a very impressive start to his NHL career, and Poitras is slowly working his way into a more prominent role at both 5-on-5 and on the man advantage.

Impact Poitras has hit the nine-game mark which represents the decision point as to whether or not to burn a year of his entry-level contract. According to Montgomery, Poitras has earned his place on the 23-man roster, no doubt in part due to his three goals and two assists to open the campaign.

Adds another goal Poitras scored a goal on three shots in Tuesday's 3-0 win over the Blackhawks.

Impact Poitras tallied his third goal in his last two games Tuesday, beating Petr Mrazek on a breakaway to extend Boston's lead to 2-0 in the second period. It's been an impressive run for the 19-year-old rookie, who now has four points (three goals and an assist) through his first six NHL games. Poitras, a second-round pick in 2022, offers some intriguing upside going forward as he looks to have developed some chemistry with Morgan Geekie and Jake DeBrusk on Boston's second line.
