Boston Bruins forward Matthew Poitras was a feel-good story of the Original Six club’s 2023-24 season. After being Boston’s top preseason star, Poitras overcame the odds and made the Bruins’ opening night roster. In the end, the then-19-year-old handled himself well (he turned 20 in March), posting five goals, 15 points, and a plus-4 rating in 33 games. Unfortunately, shoulder surgery ended his rookie campaign in January.
The expectation is that Poitras will be ready to go at training camp, especially after he appeared at the Bruins’ development camp earlier this month. It will be another important preseason for the Ajax, Ontario native, as he has a shot at securing a more significant role in 2024-25.
