Poulin scored two goals in AHL Bakersfield's 7-3 win over Coachella Valley on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Poulin picked up his first two goals for the Condors in this effort. He has four points over six outings since he was dealt from the Penguins in the Tristan Jarry (lower body) deal Dec. 12. Overall, Poulin is at 24 points across 28 AHL appearances this season. It's unclear when he might get his first look in an Oilers uniform.

Poulin and Tristan Jarry were traded to the Oilers from the Penguins on Friday in exchange for Stuart Skinner, Brett Kulak and a 2029 second-round pick.
EDGE Analysis
Poulin has seen limited action in the NHL this year, as most of his playing time has come with AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton. Across 22 appearances with the Baby Pens, Poulin recorded nine goals, 11 assists, 18 PIM and a plus-8 rating. He'll now get a fresh start in a new organization, but it's possible that he remains in the AHL following the trade.

Poulin was sent back to AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Poulin figures to suit up for the Baby Pens against AHL Hartford on Wednesday and then will be eligible to be brought back up to the NHL, if needed, versus Montreal on Thursday. In his two appearances for Pittsburgh this year, the 24-year-old winger has failed to register a point while generating one shot, two hits and a minus-2 rating.

Poulin was recalled from AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Poulin has yet to find the back of the net in 15 NHL appearances over the last four seasons, including his two appearances this year. Even with his promotion to the NHL, the 24-year-old Poulin is far from a lock to suit up versus the Ducks on Tuesday, as veteran Danton Heinen was also called up from the minors.

Poulin was reassigned to AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Poulin has not recorded a point while averaging 13:49 of ice time over two appearances with Pittsburgh this season. The 2019 first-round pick (No. 21 overall) will link back up with the minor-league squad, with whom he has banked seven goals, 15 points and a plus-8 rating across 16 appearances in 2025-26.

Poulin was elevated from AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Poulin joins the NHL roster after Ville Koivunen (lower body) was placed on injured reserve in a corresponding move. The 24-year-old Poulin has been lighting it up in the minors, racking up seven goals and eight helpers in 16 minor-league tilts with the Baby Pens. If Poulin gets into Friday's matchup with the Wild, it will likely mean a demotion to the press box for either Danton Heinen or Joona Koppanen.

Poulin scored twice on five shots in AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton's 5-4 shootout win over Bridgeport on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Poulin is up to seven goals this season, six of which have been scored in his last six games. The 24-year-old winger has added six assists, 41 shots on net and a plus-6 rating. Poulin is doing well to position himself for a potential call-up, though he's already been passed over a couple of times while the Penguins are missing three regulars from their NHL forward group.

Poulin scored twice on four shots in AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton's 3-2 win over Bridgeport on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Poulin is up to eight points (three goals, five assists) through nine games in the AHL this season. The 24-year-old winger is providing steady offense for the farm team, and he could be an option for Pittsburgh later in 2025-26 if he keeps it up.

Poulin scored a goal on two shots and added an assist in AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton's 6-3 win over Bridgeport on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Poulin is off to a hot start with the minor-league team, earning a goal and five points over four games. He put up 43 points in 57 regular-season AHL outings last year, as well as one assist in seven NHL games. At 24 years old, he's not the youngest of prospects anymore, but he could still be part of Pittsburgh's NHL-level youth movement if he continues to play well in the AHL.

Poulin was put on waivers Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Poulin has not been able to crack the Pittsburgh lineup for any appreciable time since being the No. 21 overall pick in the 2019 NHL Entry Draft. The 24-year-old has played only 13 NHL regular-season games across the past three campaigns, generating only two assists. He will play for AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton if he passes through waivers.
