Poitras scored a goal and added an assist in AHL Providence's 6-3 win over Belleville on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
This was Poitras' first multi-point effort since the second game of the AHL campaign. He entered Saturday with just one helper over his last six outings. Overall, Poitras has two goals and 10 points in 18 appearances, which isn't the kind of production that will help him get a call-up to Boston at this point in the year.

Poitras notched four assists and three shots on goal in AHL Providence's 6-3 win over Charlotte on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Poitras played provider for linemates Fabian Lysell and Alex Steeves in this contest. The 21-year-old Poitras didn't stand out during the Bruins' NHL camp, so he'll start 2025-26 in the minors, where he had 17 goals and 24 assists over 40 regular-season games last year. Should Boston's center depth get depleted, Poitras figures to be near the top of the list for a call-up.

Poitras was reassigned to the minors Friday for AHL eligibility, Mark Divver of the New England Hockey Journal reports.
EDGE Analysis
Poitras is mired in a 23-game goal drought in addition to a nine-game pointless streak, so an extended stay in the minors could be good for his long-term development. Still, the Bruins will need bodies to fill out the lineup the rest of the way and will want to get a look at several young prospects, including the 20-year-old Poitras.

Interim head coach Joe Sacco said Friday that Poitras (lower body) made it through practice well and could be an option for Saturday's game in Pittsburgh, Steve Conroy of the Boston Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
Poitras sustained a lower-body injury during Thursday's game against the Islanders, but it doesn't appear as though he's dealing with a significant ailment. The Bruins will likely wait to see how he fares during Saturday's morning skate before determining his status, but he seems to be trending in the right direction.

Poitras (lower body) is unlikely to return to Thursday's game versus the Islanders.
EDGE Analysis
Poitras was injured in the second period, and while he wasn't fully ruled out, the Bruins' update doesn't bode well for him getting back on the ice Thursday. The 20-year-old should be considered day-to-day ahead of Saturday's game versus the Penguins, which is the first half of a back-to-back set.
