Bruins rookie Matthew Poitras was all over the ice Sunday night in Boston’s 3-1 win over the Anaheim Ducks.

The 19-year-old center came up with not one, but two goals in the third period. The pair were the first and second goals of his NHL career.

For that reason, we have named him our VA Hero of the Week. For more on Poitras performance, check out the video above.
