The Bruins' medical staff announced today that center Matthew Poitras underwent successful Right Shoulder Open Stabilization surgery at Mass General-Brigham, with a 5 Month recovery time set.
An Open Stabilization Surgery is a procedure where a surgeon cuts into the patient's shoulder joint, and then reattaches the labrum (a rim of cartilage keeping your bones from grinding together) via stitching or by use of screws.
While there's a very slim chance the Bruins stay in the playoffs long enough that he could end up making a return at the most optimistic scenario, the reality is that as of right now...Poitras' season is basically over. A terrible way for his year to go after such a bright start.
