EDMONTON — He was a question mark coming into camp as he worked his way back from off-season double shoulder surgery while getting his first taste of pro hockey.

But Tucker Poolman continues to impress his boss.

“He’s had a real strong camp. He hasn’t had a dip, he hasn’t had a lull,” Winnipeg Jets coach Paul Maurice said following Saturday’s 6-2 loss in Edmonton.

Poolman played 16:51, registered two shots on goal and blocked a shot while going minus-one.
