Penguins' Samuel Poulin: Promoted to NHL roster
Rotowire
Poulin was elevated from AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Tuesday.
Poulin joins the NHL roster after Ville Koivunen (lower body) was placed on injured reserve in a corresponding move. The 24-year-old Poulin has been lighting it up in the minors, racking up seven goals and eight helpers in 16 minor-league tilts with the Baby Pens. If Poulin gets into Friday's matchup with the Wild, it will likely mean a demotion to the press box for either Danton Heinen or Joona Koppanen.

Rotowire
Poulin produced an assist in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Lightning.
Poulin has taken over a bottom-six spot in the lineup, relegating Valtteri Puustinen to the press box as a healthy scratch. The assist Tuesday was Poulin's first point in four appearances, to go with one shot on goal, six hits, two PIM and a plus-2 rating. That's not enough production in any area to justify rostering the 23-year-old in most fantasy formats, though it may be enough to keep him in the lineup regularly.
