The Bruins will open the 2024-25 regular season on Tuesday night against the defending Stanley Cup champion Panthers.
It remains to be seen if Matt Poitras will be out on the ice with the rest of his teammates at Amerant Bank Arena.
The 20-year-old forward was trending toward a roster spot through the first week of preseason action, showing little hesitancy following shoulder surgery in February.
But Poitras has been hindered by an undisclosed injury that has kept him off the ice the last few days, with Jim Montgomery tabbing him as “day-to-day” moving forward.

After Poitras missed practice yet again on Friday, Montgomery acknowledged that the young forward’s status for Tuesday remains murky.
