Pouliot was placed on waivers by the Blackhawks on Monday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.
Pouliot was traded to Chicago from the Rangers in March, and he recorded six assists and a minus-3 rating across 16 appearances with AHL Rockford. After spending the start of training camp with the Blackhawks, he'll land on waivers and will likely report back to the IceHogs if he clears.
