Skilled rookie relegated to press box as seventh defenceman
Tucker Poolman’s rookie season hasn’t exactly gone as planned. Expected to take a big step forward on the ice, he’s instead become a fixture in the press box.
Poolman, 24, has dressed in just 10 games this season — three with the Winnipeg Jets, and seven with the Manitoba Moose.
Poolman opened many eyes when he made the big squad out of training camp, then saw limited NHL playing time before the organization decided to send him to the farm for more seasoning.
