The Boston Bruins have been grappling with the challenges of injuries this season, particularly with Derek Forbort and Matthew Poitras, two key players whose absence has been keenly felt. Derek Forbort has become a vital part of the Bruins' defensive lineup. With a career spanning nine seasons and playing for four teams, including the Bruins and the Kings, Forbort has recorded 17 goals and 78 assists in 481 games, boasting a career plus-minus of +31.
Derek Forbot spoke to the media and saying
"Ran into a couple setbacks along the way, so kind of had to restart and build it brick by brick. Took a lot longer than I thought, but we're here."
On the other hand, Matthew Poitras, a young and promising center born in 2004, has begun to make his mark in the NHL. Drafted by the Boston Bruins in the second round of the 2022 NHL Entry Draft, Poitras has played 30 games in the NHL, scoring 5 goals and 10 assists. His performance in the 2024 World Junior U-20 Championships for Canada, where he scored 2 goals and 2 assists in 5 games, highlights his potential and skill at a young age.
Matthew Poitras said
"I feel good. My shoulder feels good. I do want to get on the ice a couple more times and get back into the swing of things."
