Haggs: Bruins Rookie Matt Poitras Belongs in the NHL

Matthew Poitras notched his first two NHL goals during the third period, propelling the Boston Bruins to a 3-1 victory over the Anaheim Ducks on Sunday. This win marked the Bruins’ fifth consecutive victory to kick off the season.

“I’ve seen all I need to see, Haggerty said, “Matt Poitras should be on this team for the rest of the year.”

At just 19 years old and with only five career games under his belt, Poitras is making a strong case to remain with the team in Boston. Bruins Writer Joe Haggerty offers his reactions to the team’s win and provides insights into why Poitras is likely to stay with the Boston Bruins this season.
