Somewhat quietly, Remi Poirier has been the AHL's best goaltender for a while. The French-Canadian tender, who just broke the Stars' franchise record for wins, went a blistering 7-2-0 in March and saved 93.4% of shot against. That gaudy save percentage is especially notable in a year where goalie save percentages have been down across the NHL and AHL.

You have to throw in here that Poirier did most of this work on the road. Among his nine contests in the month, six were away from Cedar Park. He went 5-1 in those starts.

It's the second such award for Poirier, who has solidified his place in the Texas Stars history books forever and as the third tender in the Dallas system right now.

Texas will need Poirier every bit as locked in as he was in March as Texas faces off against four different Central Division foes to end the regular season. Tonight against Chicago could be a playoff preview for the currently three seeded Stars.

Here's the release: 

The American Hockey League announced today that Texas Stars goaltender Remi Poirier has been named the league’s Goaltender of the Month for March.

Poirier, 24, went 7-2-0 last month with a 2.27 goals-against average, and a .934 save percentage to earn the monthly award for the second time in his career, becoming the first Stars goaltender to do so. The fourth-year pro went 7-0-0 in March 2025 to claim the Goaltender of the Month award for the first time.

Poirier has set single-season career highs this year for games played, wins, saves and minutes, boasting a 23-17-4 record with a 2.62 GAA and .913 SV% in 44 appearances. He set a Texas franchise record on Mar. 25 at San Jose when he made 33 saves in a 3-2 triumph for his 65th career win with the Stars.

The Farnham, Quebec native was drafted by Dallas in the sixth round (185th overall) of the 2020 NHL Draft.
