Stars Reclaim Rémi Poirier Just One Week After Capitals Acquisition

Just a week after joining the Capitals organization, the 25-year-old goaltender is on the move again, returning to the Dallas Stars after being claimed off waivers by his former team on Monday. Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman was first to report the claim. Washington placed Poirier on waivers Sunday with the intention of assigning him to the AHL’s Hershey Bears. Dallas had other plans, reclaiming the goaltender and bringing him back to the organization that originally drafted him. The Capitals acquired Poirier from the New Jersey Devils in exchange for a 2027 seventh-round pick, but his Washington tenure was shorter than the average fast-food employee’s two-week notice. The latest transaction adds another chapter to what has become a rather unconventional season for Poirier. He has now been associated with three teams this year, including two separate stints with Dallas, after beginning the campaign with the Stars, moving to New Jersey, briefly passing through Washington and now returning to Dallas. It remains unclear whether the Stars can immediately assign him to their AHL affiliate, the Texas Stars, or whether they would need to place him on waivers again. Dallas originally selected Poirier in the sixth round of the 2020 NHL Draft and developed him over four seasons before he was claimed off waivers by the Devils. Poirier, who has yet to make his NHL debut, put together a strong campaign across 52 AHL appearances. Poirier finished with a 27-19-6 record, a 2.61 goals-against average and a .912 save percentage, and two shutouts. What does everyone think about this move? It’s certainly unusual to see this many transactions in a short period of time. But if there’s anyone who has always responded with professionalism, it’s Poirier. Hopefully this means the journeyman will return to the Texas Stars and continue to post respectable numbers.Nov 9, 2026
