Poulin will be in the net Saturday versus the Sabres.
Poulin was a surprise recall from AHL Bridgeport on Saturday morning in the wake of Jaroslav Halak's placement on IR, and will be rewarded right away with his first start for the Islanders this season. However, don't expect him to enjoy a long run as the Isles' starter, as Halak was on the ice for the team's morning skate and could be available as soon as Monday's game against the Capitals. Poulin has been dependable at Bridgeport this season with a 2.41 GAA and .928 save percentage over 20 outings, and could make for a quality, yet inexpensive choice in daily leagues Saturday against a Sabres squad that has dropped four games in a row.
