Capitals' Remi Poirier: Lands on waivers
Rotowire
Poirier was placed on waivers by the Capitals on Sunday, per Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.
Poirier has had a busy 2026-27 campaign off the ice, as he was already claimed off waivers by New Jersey from Dallas before the start of the regular season. The, he was traded to Washington on Nov. 1. One week later, he lands on waivers, and if a team likes the upside of the 25-year-old netminder, he could be joining his fourth organization of the season. He hasn't appeared in a game yet during the 2026-27 campaign, but if he clears waivers, Poirier would likely report to AHL Hershey to serve as the lead option between the pipes.

Devils' Remi Poirier: Claimed by New Jersey
Rotowire
Poirier was claimed off waivers by New Jersey on Sunday, per Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.
With Dallas releasing Poirier on Saturday, New Jersey took notice and scooped him up to add to their organization depth. However, the team also opted to make room for him on the active roster by placing David Rittich on waivers. Because of this, the 24-year-old Poirier has a chance to open the season on New Jersey's Opening Night roster if Rittich is claimed off waivers by a different organization and if they favor the young netminder over Nico Daws. Poirier posted strong numbers with AHL Texas in 2025-26, where he compiled a 27-19-8 record, a 2.61 GAA and a .912 save percentage across 52 regular-season outings.

Stars' Remi Poirier: Hits waivers Saturday
Rotowire
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 between the pipes last season, where he compiled a 27-19-8 record, a 2.61 GAA and a .912 save percentage across 52 regular-season outings. 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.

Stars' Remi Poirier: Earns shutout over Griffins
Rotowire
Poirier posted a 29-save shutout in AHL Texas' 2-0 win over Grand Rapids on Friday.
This was Grand Rapids' second regulation loss of the season, so that's some impressive work for Poirier. It's been tough times in Texas for the 24-year-old goalie, who is 9-10-4 with a 2.64 GAA and a .908 save percentage over 23 contests this season, numbers roughly in line with his work last year. Poirier won't get many looks in Dallas as long as Jake Oettinger and Casey DeSmith are both available.
