19-year-old Matt Poitras has already made himself a household name through the first 10 games of his NHL career with the Bruins.
After potting his first and second professional goals against the Anaheim Ducks on Oct. 22 and his third against the Chicago Blackhawks two days later, Boston’s standout center netted another one on Saturday night in Detroit.
It was filthy.
Poitras put Boston up 2-0 in the first period by dekeing Red Wings’ goaltender Ville Husso on a pass from Kevin Shattenkirk in Detroit’s zone. The teen phenom juked the 28-year-old goalie, who ended up halfway out of the crease, making him move out to his left as Poitras scored to Husso’s right with ease.
