Prospect Watch: Poulin’s productive week

Penguins top forward prospect Samuel Poulin had a huge week with three consecutive multi-point games for the Sherbrooke Phoenix in the QMJHL.

The Phoenix dominated the Acadie-Bathurst Titan on Friday with a 10-1 win at home. Poulin was named the No. 1 star for his four-goal, five-point performance. He led the Phoenix with nine shots on goal, six of which met the QMJHL's criteria for a "dangerous" shot.

Poulin scored the Phoenix's second and third goals of the game in the first period. His first goal was this ridiculous backhand shot as he was falling down while facing away from the net:

His second goal, a power play goal, came from the top of the right circle:

Poulin completed the hat trick when he picked up his own rebound and scored this wraparound goal, the Phoenix's sixth goal of the game:

His fourth goal came in the final minute of the second period, a shorthanded goal:

The Phoenix played two days later on Sunday, and took a 6-1 win over the Chicoutimi Saguenéens.
