Sent to Utica Poulter was reassigned to AHL Utica on Friday.

Impact Poulter made a pair of preseason starts for the Devils this year, but it isn't surprising to see him sent to the minors ahead of the regular season. He's unlikely to factor into New Jersey's plans this year and should spend most, if not all, of the season in the minors.

Impressing in camp Poulter made 24 saves in a 5-4 loss to Flyers on Thursday.

Impact Poulter went undrafted out of junior, but never gave up his dream of a pro career. He inked a two-way deal with Utica (AHL) in June 2022 and went 17-11-5 with a 3.28 GAA and .897 save percentage. That earned him an AHL deal for 2023-24, and he delivered. Poulter went 14-5-1-3 with a 2.54 GAA and .913 save percentage before heading down to the ECHL where he dominated. He posted a 5-0-0 record at the end of the season and then carried his ECHL team all the way to the Eastern Conference Final. Poulter delivered four shutouts in that postseason run tying him for second most in a single playoff in ECHL history. He's a long way from the NHL, but Poulter has a chance to be a part of the Devils long-term plan in net. He'll be in the minors this year.

Slated to face Flyers Poulter is set to start in Thursday's preseason road game against New Jersey.

Impact Poulter had a 2.55 GAA and a .911 save percentage in 28 contests with AHL Utica in 2023-24. The Devils currently have two squads: their main group is preparing to begin the NHL season Friday in Prague while another group is projected to start the season in the minors but will first play in Philadelphia on Thursday. In other words, after guarding the net against the Flyers, Poulter is expected to open the campaign in the minors.
