Poulter, 24, spent the majority of this past season with the Jets’ ECHL affiliate Norfolk Admirals, where he put up a 25-17-1 record with a 2.76 goals-against average and a .905 save percentage in 43 appearances.

That same season with the Comets, he impressed with a 17-8-1 record to go along with a 2.55 GAA and a .911 SV%. He then made 15 playoff appearances for Adirondack that season, going 7-8 with a 1.86 GAA and a .939 SV%.
