Stars Claim Rémi Poirier

The Dallas Stars have claimed goaltender Rémi Poirier off waivers from the Washington Capitals, according to Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman. Stars General Manager Jim Nill confirmed the move, welcoming the netminder back to the organization where he spent the first four years of his professional career.

Poirier was originally claimed off waivers by the New Jersey Devils before the season, then traded to Washington on November 1st for a 2027 seventh-round pick. Dallas cannot assign Poirier directly to the AHL's Texas Stars and must place him on waivers again to send him down.
