Bruins Recall Matthew Poitras Amid Injuries

Matt Poitras has returned to the Boston Bruins from a two-month stint with the AHL's Providence Bruins, where he improved his skills and confidence, scoring 20 points in 23 games. Initially struggling with the Bruins, Poitras was sent to the AHL to regain his form and is now seen as a key player to boost the team's secondary scoring. In his return game against the Tampa Bay Lightning, Poitras made an immediate impact by assisting in a goal that energized the Bruins to a 6-2 victory, despite being outshot by the Lightning. The Bruins have been struggling offensively, and Poitras' playmaking ability is expected to help address this issue. His recall comes amidst other roster changes, including injuries that placed key players like Charlie McAvoy and Mark Kastelic on injured reserve. Poitras aims to bring back the joy of the game and contribute significantly to the team's success moving forward.
