The Dallas Stars claimed goaltender Rémi Poirier off waivers from the Washington Capitals on Monday.

Poirier, 25, started the season with the New Jersey Devils, who claimed him from Dallas. Washington acquired him from New Jersey on Nov. 1 for a seventh-round pick in the 2027 NHL Draft.

Dallas selected Poirier 185th overall in 2020. He played parts of four seasons with the AHL’s Texas Stars and won 27 games in 2025–26, the second-most in the league that season.
