• Washington acquired Poirier from New Jersey on Sunday in exchange for a 2027 seventh-round pick.

  Poirier didn't log any playing time with the Devils after being claimed off waivers from Dallas on Sept. 27. The 25-year-old netminder is still waiting to make his NHL debut. He posted a 27-19-6 record, a 2.61 GAA and a .912 save percentage in 52 AHL regular-season appearances for Texas in 2025-26.

• Poirier was claimed off waivers by New Jersey on Sunday, per Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.

  After the Stars waived Poirier on Saturday, the Devils took notice and scooped him up to add to their organizational depth. David Rittich was waived in a corresponding move to clear a spot for Poirier. The 24-year-old Poirier has a chance to open the season on New Jersey's Opening Night roster alongside Jake Allen and Nico Daws in the crease. Poirier compiled a 27-19-8 record, a 2.61 GAA and a .912 save percentage across 52 regular-season outings with AHL Texas last season.

• Poirier was placed on waivers by the Stars on Saturday, per PuckPedia.

  Poirier was the hero in the Stars' preseason outing Wednesday, where he made 24 saves in a 2-0 shutout win over the Wild. The 24-year-old backstop was an effective option for AHL Texas, compiling a 27-19-8 record, a 2.61 GAA and a .912 save percentage across 52 regular-season outings in 2025-26. Given that Poirier was kept on the roster longer than Brandon Halverson, the former will likely be the organization's No. 3 option if either Jake Oettinger or Casey DeSmith are injured. However, Poirier will likely be challenged for playing time in the minors by Halverson, who had a solid showing with AHL Syracuse last season.

• Poirier posted a 24-save shutout in Wednesday's 2-0 preseason win over the Wild.

  Poirier was given the start on short notice after Jake Oettinger (lower body) was scratched. The 24-year-old Poirier made good use of the opportunity, and he's now stopped 35 of 36 shots over two preseason appearances. He's likely ticketed for AHL Texas, but Poirier would presumably be the first call-up on the list if Oettinger or Casey DeSmith is unavailable at any point in 2026-27.

• Poirier will guard the home goal in Wednesday's preseason game versus the Wild, Robert Tiffin of NHL.com reports.

  Poirier will get his second start of the preseason after having stopped 11 of 12 shots Saturday versus the Blues. The 24-year-old netminder is starting again after Jake Oettinger (undisclosed) was scratched Wednesday.

• Poirier turned aside 11 of 12 shots during Saturday's 2-1 preseason win over the Blues.

  Poirier drew the start during Saturday's preseason opener and was relatively effective over the first two periods before being replaced by Brandon Halverson. Despite Poirier's presence in the Dallas lineup, he'll likely begin the 2026-27 campaign in the minors after making 52 regular-season appearances with AHL Texas last year.
