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.

Poitras (undisclosed) may not be ready for the start of the season, Scott McLaughlin of WEEI reports Friday.
ANALYSIS
Poitras has played in three of Boston's six preseason games, scoring once. He missed the end of the 2023-24 campaign with a shoulder injury, but there is no word as to whether or not it is the same injury. Poitras made his NHL debut as a 19-year-old last season, registering five goals and 10 assists in 33 regular-season appearances. He is slated to center the third line once he is healthy.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Will return to Bruins
CBoston Bruins
December 18, 2023
Poitras will be back with Boston following the World Junior Championship, Fluto Shinzawa of The Athletic reports Monday.
ANALYSIS
Poitras will for sure miss the remainder of December while with Canada for the WJC but could be out into the New Year depending on how far the team makes it into the playoff round. At the NHL level, the 19-year-old center has racked up five goals on 38 shots, eight assists and 15 blocked shots while averaging 14:06 of ice time per game through 27 outings. The youngster's minutes have been limited this season with Poitras periodically serving as a healthy scratch.
