The 23-year-old was a third-round pick of the Flames in the 2020 NHL Draft. He has spent his entire professional career with the Wranglers, recording 18 goals and 84 assists in 198 games over four seasons. The offensive d-man has yet to appear in an NHL game.

This season, Poirier has a goal and five assists 35 games.

Texas currently sits 11th in the 17-team Western Conference with a 20-19-3-1 record. The Stars host the Manitoba Moose on Friday.

Poirier spent four seasons with the Sea Dogs, recording 51 goals and 117 assists in 225 career QMJHL games. He appeared in just 11 playoff games during that span but did help Saint John win the 2022 Memorial Cup on home ice.

Poirier is one of several members of Saint John's 2022 championship team currently playing in the AHL. The others are Philippe Daoust (Belleville Senators), William Villeneuve (Toronto Marlies), Raivis Ansons (Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins), Riley Bezeau (Cleveland Monsters) and Vincent Sevigny (Syracuse Crunch).

Recap: Sea Dogs lose 2-0

FINAL: Baie-Comeau 2, Saint John 0

FREDERICTON - A night after one of their best offensive performances of the season, the Saint John Sea Dogs were shutout 2-0 by the last-place Baie-Comeau Drakkar on Sunday at the Aitken Centre.

The Sea Dogs, despite limiting the Drakkar to just seven dangerous shots, couldn't buy a goal after tying a season high with seven on Saturday night in Charlottetown. Baie-Comeau had a solid defensive performance, blocking a lot of shots and not allowing Saint John to stay in the offensive zone for long periods.

Saint John trailed 1-0 after the first period. It wasn't until the third when the Sea Dogs were finally able to press at times, outshooting the Drakkar 17-8 in the final 20 minutes. Zachary Morin came the closest to tying the game when he fired a one-timer off the iron.

Jacopo De Luca scored on a wraparound at 14:01 of the third to make it 2-0. Liam Armit scored Baie-Comeau's first period marker.

Goaltender Samuel Caulfield was named first star, making 39 saves to earn his second shutout of the season.

Arseni Radkov made 29 stops in the loss.

The win ended a five-game losing streak for the Drakkar, who were playing their third game in three days. 

This was the final meeting of the season between the Sea Dogs and Drakkar and Baie-Comeau managed to earn three points. Saint John won 4-3 in overtime in Baie-Comeau back in December.

Game Day 46: vs Drakkar

Mike Bernard/Charlottetown Islanders

FREDERICTON - The Saint John Sea Dogs will be looking to ride some momentum this afternoon at the Aitken Centre.

The Sea Dogs are coming off a big 7-3 win over the Charlottetown Islanders last night at Eastlink Centre, a victory that saw them grab a 4-0 lead in the first period. While the Islanders didn't do themselves many favours last night, credit to the Sea Dogs for taking advantage – which isn't something they've always been able to do this season.

Saint John ended a four-game losing skid last night and will look for their second straight win today when they host the last-place Baie-Comeau Drakkar. Game time is 3 p.m.

The Drakkar have lost five straight games and sit 10 points back of the Sea Dogs.

This will be Saint John's third and final regular season game at the Aitken Centre this season. They are 1-1-0-0 so far in the Capital City Series, falling to the Cape Breton Eagles but earning a win over the Gatineau Olympiques.
