Benoit Pouliot is hoping he is establishing himself as a mainstay with the New York Rangers in the post-season. As he and his teammates are prepared to confront the Montreal Canadiens in the Eastern Conference Final series, Pouliot has scored three goals and eight points in the post-season and his previous journeyman status is changing. Pouliot played for Minnesota, who drafted him fourth overall in 2005, Montreal, Boston, and Tampa Bay - all by age 27 - before joining the Rangers. Is it possible that Pouliot, who signed a one-year, $1.3 million deal before this season, has finally found a home? "The beginning was tough, but after that I've gotten into a groove that hopefully it can keep going and . hopefully that keeps me here,'' Pouliot said.

Benoit Pouliot was instrumental in the Rangers' 3-2 overtime victory over Pittsburgh in Game 1, scoring the opening goal and assisting on the OT winner in Friday's win. Pouliot would have been credited with the overtime winner had Derick Brassard's shot not gone in. Brassard's goal was initially disallowed and play continued, but Pouliot scored seconds later to seal the win and the winner was credited to Brassard. Nonetheless, it was Pouliot's slick pass from behind the net which led to Brassard's winner, and Pouliot now has three goals and six points in eight playoff games.

Benoit Pouliot's goal stood up as the game-winner Wednesday as the New York Rangers defeated Philadelphia by a score of 2-1 in Game 7 of their first round series. The goal was the second of the postseason for Pouliot, but definitely his most important to-date. Daniel Carcillo was the other goal scorer for New York, as both tallies occurred during a second period dominated by the Rangers.

If you're looking for a mid-level forward option in playoff pools, you could do worse than New York Rangers forward Benoit Pouliot. The once-prized prospect has been playing really well lately. He's been close to a point-per-game player since he collected two assists against the Phoenix Coyotes on March 24. That includes one goal in the Rangers' Game 2 loss to the Philadelphia Flyers on Sunday.

Benoit Pouliot has a point in nine of his last 11 overall games. He played well in the Rangers' 4-1, opening-game victory over the Philadelphia Flyers in the playoffs' first round and he's become a key member of the New York offense. He finished the regular season with 15 goals and 36 points in 80 games.

Although Benoit Pouliot's seven-game point streak came to an end on Tuesday, he remains upbeat. Pouliot's hot streak started shortly after he spent a few games in a row in the press box. "Maybe I put too much pressure on myself at the beginning, tried to get points each game," said Pouliot. "Now, I'm just more relaxed, thinking less about doing the right thing and just playing the game." Despite that, we think his recent offensive outburst will remain the exception rather than the rule. If you picked him up during his recent hot streak, you should be prepared to get significantly less from him going forward.

Benoit Pouliot potted the game-winning goal in a 4-3 win against the Tampa Bay Lightning on Sunday. He scored a power-play marker to extend his career-high point streak to seven games. Pouliot has four goals and three assists during that span to give him 13 points in 38 games this season.
