2007-08: In his second season with the Victoriaville Tigres (QMJHL), Poulin posted a .887 save percentage and a 3.69 goals against average over 52 games. He participated in the 2008 CHL Top Prospects game.
2008-09: Appeared in 39 games with Victoriaville, posting a .905 Save % and a 3.01 GAA.

2010-11: Poulin made his NHL debut much earlier than expected - appearing in 10 games with the Islanders as a 20-year-old after a rash of injuries decimated the goaltending corps for New York. Poulin played well in his limited time, finishing 4-3 with a 2.44 GAA and .924 save percentage before he too succumbed to injury - hurting his knee in February and missing the last 29 games of the season. Prior to his call-up, Poulin began his first pro season with AHL Bridgeport. In 15 games with the Sound Tigers he was 10-5 with two shutouts and had a 2.19 GAA with a .932 save percentage.
Talent Analysis
An athletic and reactionary netminder, Poulin has finally become consistent. Extremely quick between the pipes, he’ll do anything to stop the puck, often making acrobatic saves. He's learned more fundamentals and combined that with his athleticism.
Future
He will need time and coaching to develop his style.
