Young talent Matt Poitras of the Boston Bruins is set for an exciting international venture as he heads to Gothenburg, Sweden, to represent Canada in the 2024 IIHF World Junior Championship. This strategic move by the Bruins aims to expose the 19-year-old center to high-caliber competition among his peers, with Poitras gearing up to meet elite challengers in this intense tournament running from December 26 to January 5.
Poitras, whose promising recent performance has sparked optimism for his development, is expected to make a significant impact during the pre-tournament exhibition. Following the World Juniors, he is slated to rejoin the Bruins on January 8 in Denver, ready to bring newfound experience and growth to the NHL stage.
