Following the NHL draft and free agency, teams are focusing on developing their prospects to compete at the highest level. One such player is Matthew Poitras, a center for the Boston Bruins, selected in the second round of the 2022 draft.
Last season, Poitras faced a major setback. After playing 33 games for Boston, he had to undergo shoulder surgery, ending his season early.
Months after his surgery, Poitras attended much of the rookie camp. He was seen on the ice for the Bruins at the beginning of the month, working on his shots.
However, Poitras was absent on the final day of rookie camp. While no official statement has been released about his condition, it's suspected that he is still recovering from his shoulder injury.
Rookie Camp is crucial for preparing young players for NHL-level hockey. Hopefully, Matthew Poitras's absence from scrimmage day won't affect his chances of success with the Boston Bruins this upcoming season.
