Playing career
Junior
Poirier was drafted in the first round, 8th overall by the Saint John Sea Dogs in the 2018 QMJHL entry draft.[1][2][3] Poirier played four seasons with the Sea Dogs, including their road to, and eventual championship of the 2022 Memorial Cup along with fellow Calgary Flames defensive prospect Yan Kuznetsov.[4][5] A consistent point producer during his tenure with the Sea Dogs, Poirier holds several franchise records for scoring.[6] These records include most career goals and points for a defenceman, as well as most single season goals by a defenceman.[1][6] During the 2019–20 QMJHL season Poirier scored 20 goals, leading all defencemen in the league.[7][8]
Professional
Despite being projected as a late first round pick, Poirier was drafted in the third round, 72nd overall by the Calgary Flames in the 2020 NHL entry draft,[9] signing his entry-level deal with the Flames on September 24, 2021.[7][10] Poirier made his professional debut with the Calgary Wranglers of the AHL on October 16, 2022, scoring the first goal in Wranglers history during their inaugural game, a 6–5 loss against the Coachella Valley Firebirds.[11] Poirier was able to transition his scoring prowess to the AHL, finishing second among rookie defencemen for scoring as well as having the best shootout record in the league, scoring on all four of his attempts.[12][13] During his rookie season, Poirier struggled at times with balancing his offensive abilities with his defensive responsibilities, and did not play for several games due to this.[14][15] On April 12, 2023, Poirier was named to the 2022-23 AHL All-Rookie Team.[16][17]
On February 2, 2026, Poirier was traded to the Dallas Stars in exchange for Gavin White.[18]
