Poitras was assigned to AHL Providence on Monday. - Poitras appeared in the Bruins' last 14 games but didn't make a significant impact for the NHL club early in the year, logging a goal, four points, six hits and four blocked shots while averaging 12:44 of ice time. He should have more consistent opportunities to contribute in the minors but could rejoin Boston at some point. |

Poitras scored the game-winning goal in Saturday's 3-0 victory over the Flyers. - The 20-year-old center potted his first goal of the season midway through the first period, banging a loose puck past Aleksei Kolosov, and it was all the support Joonas Korpisalo needed in the Boston net. Poitras has four points in his first 10 games this season, and he's unlikely to be a consistent contributor without regular power-play time or a spot in the Bruins' top six. |

Poitras recorded an assist in Thursday's 5-2 loss to the Stars. - Poitras snapped a four-game slump when he set up a David Pastrnak tally in the first period. The Bruins have gotten next to nothing out of their middle six so far, and Poitras moved from third-line center to second-line right wing while also losing his power-play spot Thursday. He has two assists, three shots on goal, four hits and a minus-1 rating through six appearances, so he doesn't need to be rostered in redraft formats at this time. |

The 20-year-old centered the third line and saw 16:05 of ice time. He's looking to build off a 15-point effort as a rookie, which he accumulated over 33 regular-season games before a shoulder injury ended his campaign. |

Poitras (shoulder) took the ice in a regular sweater for the start of the Bruins' development camp Monday, Steve Conroy of the Boston Herald reports. - Poitras was limited to just 33 regular-season games for Boston this past season due to injury but looks ready to go ahead of the 2024-25 campaign. In those limited appearances, the 20-year-old center notched five goals on 40 shots to go with 10 helpers. Barring any injury setbacks, Poitras should be a near-lock to make the Opening Night roster in October. |

Poitras underwent surgery on his right shoulder Wednesday and will miss the remainder of the season. - Poitras' expected recovery timeline is five months, so he should be able to participate in a fairly regular offseason training regimen. The 19-year-old will end his rookie season with 15 points, 40 shots on net and a plus-4 rating over 33 appearances. Poitras should be ready for 2024-25 if he avoids setbacks in his recovery, though it's possible he could proceed slowly during training camp. He could be placed on injured reserve in the coming days to free up a roster spot. |

Poitras (undisclosed) will not be in action versus the Flames on Tuesday, Steve Conroy of the Boston Herald reports. - Poitras has struggled to stay healthy since returning from the World Junior Championship, playing in just six of the Bruins' last 12 contests. Even when healthy, the 19-year-old center has been struggling to produce, as he is mired in both a five-game pointless streak and a 12-game goal drought. As such, Poitras could find himself watching from the press box periodically once cleared in order to hopefully rediscover his offensive upside. |

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-six center of late. |

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

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. |

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

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. |
