The Bruins had to go without Matt Poitras on the third line in the third period of a 2-1 loss to the Islanders Thursday night. But Poitras plans to be available when the Bruins visit the Pittsburgh Penguins Saturday, having recovered from a freak incident in which he slammed into the Islanders’ bench door frame.

The Boston Bruins not only lost a fifth straight game Thursday night, but the team also lost young forward Matt Poitras to a scary injury.

The Boston Bruins continue to sink further with their recent loss to the New York Islanders, pushing them even farther from the goals that Brad Marchand acknowledges will not be achievable this season.
