Ruled out Thursday Poitras (shoulder) won't play against Vegas on Thursday but remains day-to-day and is still traveling with the team, Fluto Shinzawa of The Athletic reports.
Impact Poitras has recorded two assists in three games since returning from the World Junior Championship but has yet to put a shot on net. In fact, the youngster hasn't scored a goal since Nov. 27 against Columbus. Without Poitras available, Pavel Zacha and Charlie Coyle will feature as the first and second-line centers, respectively.

Can't finish contest Poitras suffered an apparent shoulder injury in Tuesday's game versus the Coyotes, Kevin Paul Dupont of The Boston Globe reports.
Impact Poitras delivered a check in the third period but came out of the situation worse for wear. He should be considered day-to-day ahead of Thursday's game in Vegas. If Poitras has to miss time, Jakub Lauko or Oskar Steen could get into the lineup.

Back with Boston Poitras has returned to the Bruins on Thursday, after playing for Team Canada at the 2024 World Junior Championship, Eric Russo of NHL.com reports.
Impact Poitras had two goals and a pair of assists in five games as Canada was eliminated in the quarter-finals by Czechia 3-2. Poitras will sit out Thursday as he adjusts to the time change as the tournament was held in Sweden. Poitras has played well for the Bruins this season, scoring five goals and adding eight assists in 27 games. The Bruins still have the option to return Poitras to OHL Guelph as he is still 19-years-old, but Poitras has played very well at the NHL level and it may be difficult to send him back to junior.

Two points in losing effort Poitras scored an even-strength goal and added a power-play assist in Saturday's 5-4 loss to the Red Wings.
Impact The 19-year-old scored a slick goal midway through the first period by deking Ville Husso out of his shorts and tucking the puck into the net on his backhand, before Poitras helped set up David Pastrnak for Boston's final tally in the third. The 2022 second-round pick has four goals and seven points in 11 games for a very impressive start to his NHL career, and Poitras is slowly working his way into a more prominent role at both 5-on-5 and on the man advantage.

Impact Poitras has hit the nine-game mark which represents the decision point as to whether or not to burn a year of his entry-level contract. According to Montgomery, Poitras has earned his place on the 23-man roster, no doubt in part due to his three goals and two assists to open the campaign.

Adds another goal Poitras scored a goal on three shots in Tuesday's 3-0 win over the Blackhawks.
Impact Poitras tallied his third goal in his last two games Tuesday, beating Petr Mrazek on a breakaway to extend Boston's lead to 2-0 in the second period. It's been an impressive run for the 19-year-old rookie, who now has four points (three goals and an assist) through his first six NHL games. Poitras, a second-round pick in 2022, offers some intriguing upside going forward as he looks to have developed some chemistry with Morgan Geekie and Jake DeBrusk on Boston's second line.
