Rookie Matthew Poitras from the Boston Bruins stands out as the lone NHL player loaned to Team Canada this season, representing a noteworthy shift for the team.
Despite joining late, Poitras is rapidly establishing his role, demonstrating remarkable chemistry while on the ice with Conor Geekie and Matthew Savoie.
An exceptional progression, Poitras is poised to assume a prominent role, specifically as he solidifies his position as the primary player on Team Canada's top line.
Matt Poitras is the top line center at practice for Team Canada at the #WorldJuniors with Conor Geekie and Matthew Savoie on the wings. The Canadians meet Switzerland on Dec. 22 and the United States the following day before opening their world juniors Dec. 26 against Finland at Gothenburg's Scandinavium arena. #NHLBruins #TeamCanada
Matthew Poitras will have the opportunity to showcase all of his talent on the first line during the first game. We wish him an excellent tournament!
