Overview
- The Winnipeg Jets signed goaltender Isaac Poulter to a one-year contract for 2026-27, a second straight one-year deal with the organization, and the contract carries a reported $885,000 value.
- Poulter spent most of 2025-26 in the ECHL with the Norfolk Admirals, where he went 25-17-1 with a .905 save percentage and a 2.76 goals-against average while also appearing in three AHL games with the Manitoba Moose.
- He began his pro career as an undrafted free agent with the New Jersey Devils organization in 2022-23 and moved between the ECHL and AHL before earning more consistent AHL work in 2023-24 and 2024-25.
- The Moose already have Thomas Milic and Domenic DiVincentiis signed for next season, which makes Poulter’s pathway to regular AHL starts unlikely unless injuries or roster moves create openings.
- The deal preserves Winnipeg’s experienced, low-cost depth at goaltender and gives Poulter another chance to compete in camp and the preseason for a higher role, though tangible AHL or NHL playing time will likely depend on changes elsewhere in the depth chart.
