Poitras (undisclosed) could be an option to return to Boston's lineup on Saturday vs. Los Angeles

Poitras was battling an injury towards the end of training camp and missed the first two games of the season. The 20-year-old Poitras was having a strong rookie campaign last season before undergoing season-ending shoulder surgery in February. He had 15 points (5G / 10A0 in 33 games. He skated in full on Friday and has a strong possibility to make his debut vs. Los Angeles.

Poitras missed the Bruins' previous game before the All-Star break due to the injury and did practice in full on Sunday, but the team and Poitras have opted for surgery to repair his injured shoulder, bringing a premature end to his rookie season. The 19-year-old rookie left the Bruins briefly in December to attend this year's World Jr Tournament and has made a solid impact in his rookie season with five goals and 15 points in 33 games played.

Poitras has been impressive in his rookie season with the Bruins but has seen a decline in his play lately, scoring only six points (1G / 5A) in his last 16 games after scoring seven points (4G / 3A) in his 11 games prior. The Bruins hope participating in the World Jr Tournament along with Team Canada can help him elevate his game and re-spark his confidence.
