The Boston Bruins made a surprising roster move on Monday, assigning forward Matt Poitras to their AHL affiliate, the Providence Bruins.
Poitras sustained a shoulder injury after playing 33 games last season, and missed the first two games this season.
Montgomery would only say that Matt Poitras is “a possibility” for Saturday afternoon’s home game against the Los Angeles Kings if Poitras responds well to Friday’s full practice.
