Dallas reclaimed their netminder off waivers after a brief stint in D.C., forcing the Capitals to bolster their blue line by bringing up veteran Justin Holl.
The Dallas Stars have reclaimed goaltender Rémi Poirier off waivers from the Washington Capitals, prompting Washington to recall veteran defenseman Justin Holl from the AHL's Hershey Bears. Washington placed Poirier on waivers Sunday with the intent of assigning him to the minors, but Dallas claimed him on Monday to fill their goaltending depth.
Washington originally acquired Poirier from the New Jersey Devils on Nov. 1, 2026, in exchange for a 2027 seventh-round draft pick. Holl, a 34-year-old veteran with 408 NHL games, steps into the vacated roster spot after registering three assists in nine games with Hershey and two goals in three appearances for the Capitals this season.
