What Happened
The Dallas Stars have claimed goaltender Rémi Poirier off waivers from the Washington Capitals, according to Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman. Pro Hockey Rumors reported the claim on November 9, 2026. The transaction returns Poirier to the franchise where he began his professional career.
Key Details
- Waiver claim: Dallas Stars acquire goaltender Rémi Poirier from the Washington Capitals.
- Friedman of Sportsnet first reported the claim.
- Poirier began his professional career in the Stars organization.
- No additional roster or contract details were reported.
What It Means
The claim gives Dallas another goaltender within its system and puts Poirier back in an organization he knows from the start of his pro career. Washington, meanwhile, loses a netminder it had on its books. Because the report covers only the waiver claim itself, the immediate depth-chart and lineup impact for either club is not yet clear.
