It would have been amazing to see Poirier with Drouin, but it appears that the coaches wanted to spread some finishers through the lineup.

Can't really blame Poirier's lacklustre performance on his linemates. Marc Olivier Roy didn't get to play with Drouin and he impressed me more than Poirier (note: just one game). Poirier needs to show better regardless of who he's playing with. I thought he was invisible the whole game. Hope he shows more on Wednesday.
