Matt Poitras accomplished two dreams in 2023: making his NHL debut and playing for Team Canada in the World Juniors.
Ironically, a Geekie brother had a hand in both bucket list items.
On Friday, in a pre-competition WJC game between Canada and Switzerland, Poitras scored his first goal in a Team Canada sweater. It came by way of Conor Geekie, the younger brother of current Bruin Morgan Geekie.

Poitras is pretty comfortable playing with a Geekie brother.
