The Winnipeg-born netminder went 2-0-0 through three appearances with Manitoba while posting a 25-17-1 record with two shutouts in 43 games with Norfolk. The signing gives Winnipeg additional organizational depth in goal while keeping a familiar Manitoba name in the system. The 6-foot-2 backstop has appeared in 80 career AHL games, owning a 42-24-10 record with five shutouts - decent numbers for the second-best league in North America. Before turning pro, Poulter spent four seasons with the Swift Current Broncos before working his way through the American Hockey League ranks and eventually signing an NHL deal with the New Jersey Devils. He began his hockey career at the RINK Hockey Academy.
