Pouliot has set personal highs with 46 assists and 53 points in 69 games for Syracuse this season, his 11th pro campaign after being selected eighth overall by Pittsburgh in the 2012 NHL Draft. A veteran of 226 National Hockey League games, Pouliot sits one off the league lead in assists while also anchoring a Crunch defense that is currently tied for the fewest goals allowed in the AHL this season. The native of Estevan, Sask., has appeared in three AHL All-Star Classics - including this season's event - but this is his first postseason All-Star selection.
Each All-Star Team member will receive a custom-designed crystal award in recognition of his selection to the 2024-25 AHL First and Second All-Star Teams.
