Poirier is set to start on the road against St. Louis in Saturday's preseason game, per Lou Korac of NHL.com.
Poirier had a 2.61 GAA and a .912 save percentage in 52 regular-season appearances with AHL Texas in 2025-26. Although he's getting a chance to show what he can do during the preseason, the 24-year-old is expected to start the upcoming campaign in the minors.
