The Bruins announced their 35-player roster for their 2024 Development Camp on Sunday evening, with one NHLer headlining Boston’s latest crop of top talent set to skate at Warrior Ice Arena.

In a somewhat surprising move, Matthew Poitras will take part in Boston’s latest Development Camp, which will run from July 1 – July 4 at Warrior Ice Arena.

While Development Camp is usually reserved for recent draft picks and other prospects years away from realistically logging NHL reps, Poitras cut his teeth with the Bruins during the 2023-24 campaign.

At just 19 years old, Poitras won a roster spot with Boston thanks to a stellar training camp and preseason last fall — with the playmaking pivot scoring five goals and 15 points over 35 games with Boston in his rookie season.

Poitras’s season was cut short during the winter, with the 2022 second-round pick undergoing shoulder surgery in February — putting him on a five-month recovery timeline.

It remains to be seen if Poitras will be fully cleared for Boston’s drills and scrimmages throughout the week. But with a big season on tap for the poised center, Poitras will look to set the foundation for the 2024-25 campaign alongside the Bruins’ next wave of talent.

Beyond Poitras, the Bruins are also expected to welcome their 2024 NHL Draft class to Warrior this week — headlined by 6-foot-7 center Dean Letourneau.
