Rookie center Matt Poitras is set to remain with the Boston Bruins. The team had until Tuesday to decide whether or not to return him to the Ontario Hockey League’s Guelph Storm.

“He’s sticking around. He just belongs,” Bruins coach Jim Montgomery explained, adding that it didn’t take long to make a decision on Poitras’ future.

Having played nine NHL games for the Bruins this season, Poitras’ entry-level contract has now been kicked in. Still, Montgomery wanted that the 19-year-old rookie may not remain with the NHL team all season, but that he has impressed the coaching staff enough to stay on with the Bruins in the meantime.

A second-round draft pick in 2022, Poitras scored three goals and five points total in his nine appearances this season. He has provided much-needed depth in the center following the retirement of veteran Patrice Bergeron and the departure of David Krejci.

The Boston Bruins continue to show why they are the best team in NHL this season. With the 4-3 win over the St. Louis Blues, the Bruins have now won 60 out of the 77 games played in 2022-23, while no other team has managed to hit the 50-win mark yet.

By getting to 60 wins, the Bruins are one step closer to breaking the NHL’s all-time single-season record. The current record is held by the Detroit Red Wings and the Tampa Bay Lightning, who each managed to win 62 games in a single season. The Red Wings did it in 1995-96, while the Lightning matched in 2018–19.

In order to own the record, the Bruins will have to win three games out of the five they have left in the regular season. They will continue the quest on April 6 against the Toronto Maple Leafs.

The 2022-23 campaign is already a historic one for the Bruins, considering they have managed to break several franchise records already. This includes having the most single-season wins and most single-season points (125) in franchise history.

“It’s a great accomplishment, but it’s hard when you’re right in the moment to embrace it, I guess maybe, enjoy it,” head coach Jim Montgomery told reporters earlier this week.. “I think after the season is over, we’ll be able to sit back. It’s historical, what we’re doing. It’s a pleasure to coach these guys.”

Boston Bruins defenceman Charlie McAvoy is looking to make his return from injury following the Bruins’ 5-2 victory over the New York Rangers at Madison Square Garden on Friday. The 24-year-old player returned to team practice last week and was spotted on the ice taking a lengthy skating session ahead of the Bruins’ convincing win in New York.

McAvoy underwent shoulder surgery during the offseason in order to address a complex shoulder injury that he incurred in Game 6 of the first-round playoff series against the Carolina Hurricanes last season. After undergoing an MRI, it was determined that the defenseman would have to undergo an arthroscopic stabilization on his left shoulder; a procedure that would see him sidelined for six months.

According to Bruins coach Jim Montgomery, McAvoy is gradually getting back into the swing of things with the team. “We’re just hopeful with him,” Montgomery stated, continuing, “No updated timeline. We have an internal process with him. He’s ahead of that Dec. 1 date, but we don’t know exactly. There are boxes to be checked.”

The 24-year-old player is currently considered to be one of the top defensemen in the NHL, scoring 56 points in 70 games last season and racking up a 24:38 average ice time with the Bruins.
