In 85 regular-season AHL games, the six-foot-two, 210-pound netminder has amassed a 43-32-8 record with a .906 save percentage, 2.86 goals-against average and four shutouts. Poirier also appeared in 23 games for the Idaho Steelheads – the ECHL affiliate of the Dallas Stars – in 2022-23, earning ECHL All-Rookie honors after posting a 19-2-1 record with a .928 save percentage and 2.07 goals-against average in those games.
Prior to making his professional debut, Poirier played four seasons (2018-19 to 2021-22) for the Gatineau Olympiques of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League (QMJHL). The Garnham, Quebec native was originally selected by Dallas in the sixth round (185th overall) of the 2020 NHL Draft
