Poirier Joins as Capitals Manage Three Goalies

Washington acquired goalie Rémi Poirier from New Jersey for a 2027 seventh-round pick; he has taken his first practice and has no NHL regular-season experience. McIlrath cleared waivers and is headed to Hershey, while Carbery says Washington is managing three goalies day by day amid concerns about Logan Thompson’s health; no goaltending hierarchy change is confirmed.
