Julien said Thornton informed Pouliot that he'd been given a promotion to the merlot line.^BISH
Look for Pouliot to get a crack at a scoring line. Over the past two years he has potted 30 goals playing mostly in an offensive role. He should improve on his one goal over nine games.
Julien says Pouliot is sick and doesn't know if he'll make the trip to Montreal with the team this afternoon.
If he was healthy, Pouliot likely would have practiced with Chris Kelly and Rich Peverley this morning. Look for rookie Jordan Caron to fill in for Pouliot should he not travel to Montreal.
