— Calgary Flames (@NHLFlames) November 12, 2015 Poulin was the third goaltender for the Syracuse Crunch, Tampa Bay's AHL affiliate, so the move makes sense for the Lightning to ship him out. For the Flames, Poulin will be the backup to the currently injured Jon Gillies down in the minors in Stockton.
In 50 career NHL games, Poulin has put up a .889 save percentage with a 3.07 goals against, a serviceable backup for the Flames minor leagues.
