Poulin was reassigned to AHL Bridgeport on Thursday, NHL.com's Brian Compton reports. Poulin's demotion would seem to suggest that Jaroslav Halak (lower body) is at least capable of serving in a backup capacity for Saturday's game against the Devils. The 24-year-old only spent one game with the Islanders, serving as the understudy to Michal Neuvirth.
