Sam Poulin Looked Confident in NHL Debut with Pittsburgh Penguins

The Pittsburgh Penguins chose Sam Poulin in the first round (21st overall) in the 2019 NHL Draft and he finally made his big league debut.

In the second half of a back-to-back situation that saw a new addition to the Penguins’ injured list, the door opened for Poulin.

It wasn’t a great start for the rookie as a giveaway made by Poulin led directly to an early Calgary Flames goal, but head coach Mike Sullivan maintained his confidence.

Despite the poor play, Sullivan kept playing Poulin and the prospect only got better as the game went on.
