Matt Poitras is sticking around in Boston.
Speaking on Tuesday morning, Bruins head coach Jim Montgomery announced that the 19-year-old forward is staying up with the NHL roster for the remainder of the 2023-24 season.
“I think his play — he earned it, right? I think we’re comfortable with him,” Montgomery said of Poitras. “There’s still no guarantees here the rest of the year. But we feel that the way he’s progressed — that for the time being, he’s going to be a Bruin and he’s helping us win hockey games. That’s the most important thing, right?
