Matt Poitras shows how he can elevate Bruins’ offense in season debut

David Pastrnak had to do a double-take on the ice Saturday afternoon.

Not because of the slick, cross-slot feed that hit him on the tape. Nor the open runway of ice in front of Kings goalie Darcy Kuemper.

Rather, it was the supporting cast around him during 3-on-3 overtime, with the Bruins superstar flanked by 20-year-old Matthew Poitras and 23-year-old Mason Lohrei.

“In the middle of that shift, I was thinking, ‘Oh my god, I’m on the ice with these kids’. … I have some skating to do to be able to catch up with them,” Pastrnak said.
