Last week, Wilkes-Barre/Scranton head coach J.D. Forrest said that he was sure that Sam Poulin "will find the scoresheet here soon."
Entering Friday's game against Hartford, Poulin had recorded just two assists in his first five games with Wilkes-Barre, averaging two shots on goal per game. He's spent the beginning of the season on Wilkes-Barre's top power play unit, and has primarily played on the top line alongside Radim Zohorna and Valtteri Puustinen.
Though Poulin hadn't scored a goal yet, Forrest liked what he was seeing from Poulin.
"When he gets pucks down low, he really is able to make some plays and protect pucks, dominate, and make it tough on other teams, especially the D," Forrest said of Poulin.
