Matthew Poitras

21-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.

$Signed a three-year, entry-level contract with the Bruins in May of 2023.
Dropped to minors
CBoston Bruins  Minors
March 7, 2025
Poitras was reassigned to the minors Friday for AHL eligibility, Mark Divver of the New England Hockey Journal reports.
ANALYSIS
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.
