The Devils had claimed Poirier off waivers from the Stars before the season began. He didn’t see any ice time in New Jersey but he did dress for a few games. Poirier hadn’t appeared in any games for the Capitals since they acquired him and yesterday they placed him on waivers hoping to send him down to Hershey in the AHL.

The Stars came and claimed him back. He spent last season with Texas in the AHL appearing in a league-leading 52 games going 27-19-6 with a 2.61 goals-against average, a .912 save percentage, and two shutouts. He was second in the league in wins, eighth in save percentage, and 13th in goals-against average.

Poirier in 137 career AHL all for Texas is 70-51-14 with a 2.76 goals-against average, a .908 save percentage, and six shutouts. In 23 Calder Cup Playoff games he’s 11-9-0 with a 2.42 goals-against average, a .909 save percentage, and three shutouts.
