Breaking news> Why Matthew Poitras Did Not Attend The Bruins Development Camp’s Final Day
On Monday, Matthew Poitras, who sustained a shoulder injury in his rookie NHL season, returned to the ice for the Boston Bruins development camp. Before missing the fourth and final day, the forward played in the first three days.
The Bruins decided to take precautions, which is why Poitras did not skate on Thursday. Prospects participated in scrimmages on the final day, and the team did not want to put the 20-year-old through any needless contact just yet.
We just chose not to play him today after weighing the benefits and drawbacks. According to team-provided footage, player development coordinator Adam McQuaid stated, “He’s on the right track.” “There were no obstacles or such events. We were aware going in that we would make an effort to avoid making contact.
Even though Poitras’ health is a concern for the Bruins, he did state that he felt well following Day 1.
The young player put on eight or nine pounds of muscle during the off-season in order to get ready for his professional hockey comeback. As of right now, Poitras intends to return to training camp in September well recovered.
Given that McQuaid commented that Poitras appeared well in the brief time he spent in development camp, it appears he is headed in the right direction.
McQuaid told reporters, “He’s doing good, it was a great week for him.” “I know he had fun, and it was probably good for him to be around guys his own age again and get back out there with the guys.” However, nothing alarming for him.
