Benoit Pouliot is expected to face competition at training camp for his spot on Boston's third line. Tryout Chris Clark and Jamie Arniel are projected to be in the mix for the position, but Pouliot's speed and ability to score may give him the edge. Coach Claude Julien said that Pouliot could be a consistent contributor back when the team signed him as a free agent, but we don't anticipate seeing a drastic rise in his point totals this campaign.
