Kevin Poulin has been summoned from the minors by the New York Islanders and will get the start on Thursday night when the team hosts Dallas. Evgeni Nabokov isn't ready to return yet from a groin injury and Al Montoya is in need of a night off, so Poulin will get into his first NHL action of 2011-12. He played in 10 games for the Isles last season, while posting a 4-2-1 record with a .924 save percentage and a 2.44 GAA.
