Pouliot, the eighth overall pick of Pittsburgh in 2012, signed with the Sharks on Thursday for the remainder of the 2022-23 season. He was previously on an AHL contract with their affiliate, the San Jose Barracuda.

Johnston also added that the Florida Panthers have placed goaltenders J-F Berube and Evan Fitzpatrick on waivers. Both players were on AHL contract, but have been signed to one-year deals for the remainder of the 2022-23 season.
Berube, 31, has appeared in eight game for the Charlotte Checkers this season, where he has a record of 4-2-1 with a 2.84 GAA and a .901 save percentage.
