The Story in 60 Seconds

The Dallas Stars have reclaimed goaltender Rémi Poirier off waivers just one week after he was acquired by the Washington Capitals. Washington placed the 25-year-old on waivers on Sunday with the plan to assign him to the AHL's Hershey Bears, but Dallas reclaimed him before he could make an appearance in the Capitals' organization.

Poirier was originally drafted by Dallas in the sixth round of the 2020 NHL Draft before being claimed by the New Jersey Devils and later traded to Washington for a 2027 seventh-round pick. It remains unclear whether the Stars can immediately send Poirier to the AHL's Texas Stars or must place him on waivers again.
