Kevin Poulin has been sent down to AHL Bridgeport. Poulin was called up on Thursday because Evgeni Nabokov wasn't ready to return even after being activated off of the injured reserve list. Poulin stopped 26 of 29 shots in a 3-2 loss to Dallas. Poulin's demotion is probably an indication that Nabokov should be available on Saturday.
