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.
