A Boston Bruins insider revealed that the Boston Bruins may be completing a roster transaction right after their game against the Vegas Golden Knights involving Matt Poitras.
The past couple of days there has been some speculation that the Boston Bruins are going to be reassigning Matt Poitras back down to the Providence Bruins in the American Hockey League while the NHL is on their break for the Four Nations Faceoff Tournament.
The idea behind this would just to get Poitras more reps while the NHL is on a break, and be able to build on his game and work on his confidence which could help him in the second half of the season.
I'm all for Matthew Poitras getting some more ice time and reps in Providence during the 4 Nations break
He's 20 years old and needs the ice time Playing in the AHL rather than him sitting at home is the way to go here and will only benefit him in the long run #NHLBruins
