Stars Assign Remi Poirier To AHL On A Conditioning Loan
Dallas goaltender Remi Poirier is heading to the AHL affiliate in Texas for a two-week conditioning stint. The 25-year-old has endured a chaotic season, having been claimed off waivers by New Jersey, traded to Washington for a seventh-round pick, and subsequently reclaimed by the Stars.
Because of the trade, Dallas cannot send him to the minors without risking him being claimed by the Capitals, who would then hold the right to assign him to their own farm team. This temporary assignment allows Poirier to regain his form after sitting out since the preseason while remaining on the NHL roster and salary cap.
He will likely return to his third-string duties behind Jake Oettinger and Casey DeSmith once the stint concludes.
