Matthew Poitras

20-Year-Old CenterC
2024 Fantasy Outlook
Poitras cracked the Boston lineup as a 19-year-old rookie last season and was impressive (five goals, 15 points in 33 games) before a shoulder injury which required surgery ended his year in late January. Poitras took part in the Bruins' development camp in early July in a regular sweater, so he shouldn't have any restrictions once training camp begins. He's still a better fantasy option in dynasty and keeper leagues as opposed to redraft formats, but Poitras is worth a look in the final rounds of all drafts given his youth and long-term potential on what projects to be one of the league's better teams.

First goal a game-winner

Poitras scored the game-winning goal in Saturday's 3-0 victory over the Flyers.
ANALYSIS
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.
