Sam Poulin - NHL News & Rumors

Elevated from minors Poulin was promoted from AHL Colorado on Tuesday.

Impact Poulin appeared in two NHL games for the Penguins this season before being traded to Edmonton as part of the Tristan Jarry deal. Even with his elevation to the NHL roster, Poulin is far from a lock to make his Oilers' debut, unless there is an injury among the team's forward group.

Adjusting to new team Poulin scored two goals in AHL Bakersfield's 7-3 win over Coachella Valley on Wednesday.

Impact Poulin picked up his first two goals for the Condors in this effort. He has four points over six outings since he was dealt from the Penguins in the Tristan Jarry (lower body) deal Dec. 12. Overall, Poulin is at 24 points across 28 AHL appearances this season. It's unclear when he might get his first look in an Oilers uniform.

DECEMBER 12, 2025 • Associated Press

Sent to Edmonton Poulin and Tristan Jarry were traded to the Oilers from the Penguins on Friday in exchange for Stuart Skinner, Brett Kulak and a 2029 second-round pick.

Impact Poulin has seen limited action in the NHL this year, as most of his playing time has come with AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton. Across 22 appearances with the Baby Pens, Poulin recorded nine goals, 11 assists, 18 PIM and a plus-8 rating. He'll now get a fresh start in a new organization, but it's possible that he remains in the AHL following the trade.

Headed back to minors Poulin was sent back to AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Wednesday.

Impact Poulin figures to suit up for the Baby Pens against AHL Hartford on Wednesday and then will be eligible to be brought back up to the NHL, if needed, versus Montreal on Thursday. In his two appearances for Pittsburgh this year, the 24-year-old winger has failed to register a point while generating one shot, two hits and a minus-2 rating.

Promoted to NHL Poulin was recalled from AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Tuesday.

Impact Poulin has yet to find the back of the net in 15 NHL appearances over the last four seasons, including his two appearances this year. Even with his promotion to the NHL, the 24-year-old Poulin is far from a lock to suit up versus the Ducks on Tuesday, as veteran Danton Heinen was also called up from the minors.

Drops to minors Poulin was reassigned to AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Tuesday.

Impact Poulin has not recorded a point while averaging 13:49 of ice time over two appearances with Pittsburgh this season. The 2019 first-round pick (No. 21 overall) will link back up with the minor-league squad, with whom he has banked seven goals, 15 points and a plus-8 rating across 16 appearances in 2025-26.

Promoted to NHL roster Poulin was elevated from AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Tuesday.

Impact Poulin joins the NHL roster after Ville Koivunen (lower body) was placed on injured reserve in a corresponding move. The 24-year-old Poulin has been lighting it up in the minors, racking up seven goals and eight helpers in 16 minor-league tilts with the Baby Pens. If Poulin gets into Friday's matchup with the Wild, it will likely mean a demotion to the press box for either Danton Heinen or Joona Koppanen.

Impact Poulin is up to seven goals this season, six of which have been scored in his last six games. The 24-year-old winger has added six assists, 41 shots on net and a plus-6 rating. Poulin is doing well to position himself for a potential call-up, though he's already been passed over a couple of times while the Penguins are missing three regulars from their NHL forward group.

Impact Poulin is up to eight points (three goals, five assists) through nine games in the AHL this season. The 24-year-old winger is providing steady offense for the farm team, and he could be an option for Pittsburgh later in 2025-26 if he keeps it up.

Goal, assist for Baby Pens Poulin scored a goal on two shots and added an assist in AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton's 6-3 win over Bridgeport on Saturday.

Impact Poulin is off to a hot start with the minor-league team, earning a goal and five points over four games. He put up 43 points in 57 regular-season AHL outings last year, as well as one assist in seven NHL games.

Demoted to minors Poulin was demoted to AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Monday.

Impact Poulin's demotion could be an indication that either Cody Glass (concussion) or Blake Lizotte (concussion) will be ready to return against Vancouver on Wednesday -- though with extra days off there is plenty of time for Poulin to be recalled ahead of that clash with the Canucks. Since being called up from the minors, the 23-year-old Poulin has appeared in six games for the Pens in which he tallied one assist, eight hits and two shots while averaging 10:06 of ice time.
