SAM POULIN NEWS

Demoted to minors Poulin was demoted to AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Monday.

Impact Poulin's demotion could be an indication that either Cody Glass (concussion) or Blake Lizotte (concussion) will be ready to return against Vancouver on Wednesday -- though with extra days off there is plenty of time for Poulin to be recalled ahead of that clash with the Canucks. Since being called up from the minors, the 23-year-old Poulin has appeared in six games for the Pens in which he tallied one assist, eight hits and two shots while averaging 10:06 of ice time.

Nabs first point of season Poulin produced an assist in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Lightning.

Impact Poulin has taken over a bottom-six spot in the lineup, relegating Valtteri Puustinen to the press box as a healthy scratch. The assist Tuesday was Poulin's first point in four appearances, to go with one shot on goal, six hits, two PIM and a plus-2 rating. That's not enough production in any area to justify rostering the 23-year-old in most fantasy formats, though it may be enough to keep him in the lineup regularly.

Impact Poulin has underwhelmed since being selected 21st overall in the 2019 NHL Draft, managing just six NHL games with the Penguins. He has shown some offensive upside in the minors, garnering 31 points in 41 games last year, so he could be viewed as a reclamation project in some circles. If he clears, he'll head back to the minors, where he figures to play the bulk of his games this year.
