Washington Capitals acquire goaltender Rémi Poirier from New Jersey Devils
The Washington Capitals have acquired 25-year-old goaltender Rémi Poirier from the New Jersey Devils in exchange for a seventh-round pick in the 2027 NHL Draft. The trade was announced by Capitals Senior Vice President and General Manager Chris Patrick.
Poirier, a former sixth-round pick by the Dallas Stars in 2020, has yet to make an NHL appearance. He was claimed off waivers by the Devils from the Stars in late September but did not play a game for New Jersey. In his 137 career AHL games, Poirier has recorded a 2.76 goals-against average and a .908 save percentage.
The move provides depth for the Capitals' goaltending rotation, which includes Logan Thompson, Charlie Lindgren, and Mitch Gibson. Poirier is currently on a two-way contract worth $850,000 at the NHL level and $135,000 in the AHL.
