Item Description
Pouliot grew up in St. Isidore, Ontario. He played for his hometown team, the St. Isidore Eagles, where he was coached by his father, Sylvain. He was later promoted to the AA Eastern Ontario Cobras of the ODMHA where he played up until Bantam. He also saw time in Jr.B. with Les Castors de Clarence Creek.
He was drafted in the 11th round (207th overall) by the Sudbury Wolves in the 2002 OHL Priority Selection after playing for the Eastern Ontario Cobras. The following season he was re-assigned to the Hawkesbury Hawks Jr.A. club of the CJHL - a team his father had played for.
He won the Emms Family Award as the OHL's top of the rookie for the 2004–05 season. On July 30, 2005, he was drafted fourth overall by the Minnesota Wild. He was a member of the Canadian team that won the 2006 World Junior Ice Hockey Championships. He finished the 2005–06 season with 65 points in 51 games including 35 goals.
He was signed to a tryout contract with Minnesota's AHL affiliate, the Houston Aeros, on April 28 and he played there for two games of their semi-final Calder Cup playoff series against the Milwaukee Admirals, the farm team of the Nashville Predators. Pouliot was then signed to the Wild on May 1, 2006, and made his NHL debut on November 22, 2006, against the Montreal Canadiens.
Pouliot scored his first two NHL goals for Minnesota against Calgary Flames on March 22, 2008, but the Wild still lost the match 5–4.[1]
Pouliot later was placed on the 2008–09 roster at the beginning season. After only recording 11 points in 37 games, Pouliot was sent down the Minnesota Wild's minor league affiliate, the Houston Aeros. On November 23, he was traded to the Montreal Canadiens in exchange for Guillaume Latendresse.[2]
On July 1, 2011, Pouliot signed with the Boston Bruins to a one-year, $1.1 million contract.[3]
