Bruins-Kings OT Win Breakdown: Poitras is a Difference Maker

Locked On Bruins - Daily Podcast On The Boston Bruins

Matt Poitras made his season debut for the Boston Bruins, and wowed in what was his first game since January.

Locked on Boston Bruins host Ian McLaren breaks down the key storylines, stats, and signals from a 2-1 overtime win over the Los Angeles kings on Saturday, where Poitras continued to look like the second coming of David Krejci.

Not only did the youngster help set up the game winner from David Pastrnak (and assisted by Mason Lohrei), but Poitras excelled at both ends of the ice and drew praise from head coach Jim Montgomery.

Next, a look at some key stats, like possession dominance from the bottom 6, Elias Lindholm's offensive outburst to start the season, and 2 points combined on the second line.

Jeremy Swayman was excellent and will likely get the start against the Florida Panthers on Monday, and team without Aleksander Barkov and maybe also Matthew Tkachuk.
