For the last month, Matthew Poitras lodged himself at one of the local hotels in the Boston area.
The talented rookie centerman passed his first audition with the Bruins after making the opening night roster. But his spot wasn’t guaranteed for the long term. The Bruins could’ve sent Poitras back to Guelph (OHL) to finish his junior hockey eligibility after his ninth NHL game.
Indeed, Poitras picked up where he left off, tallying three goals and two assists in that nine-game stretch. On Tuesday, he met with Don Sweeney following an optional practice at Warrior Ice Arena.
