Poulter served as the backup to Kaapo Kahkonen on Sunday but has been reassigned to the Utica Comets (AHL). The 22-year-old Poulter has enjoyed success in his second season with Utica, posting a 2.55 GAA and .911 SV% in 28 games (17-8-1).
Akira Schmid has been sent down the Utica (AHL), resulting in Poulter being recalled. It is unlikely that Poulter will see any action while he is with the Devils as Nico Daws has controlled the crease lately. Poulter is an undrafted 22-year-old who has enjoyed a decent season with Utica, recording a 2.70 GAA and .908 SV% in 24 games (14-7-1).
Poulter has signed a two-year, entry-level contract worth $1.625 million ($812,500 AAV) with the New Jersey Devils on Thursday. The 22-year-old undrafted goaltender has spent the entire season between Utica's (AHL) pipes and has an impressive 14-6-1 record, 2.68 GAA and .909 SV%.
