Playing career
Poganski played junior hockey with the Tri-City Storm in the United States Hockey League (USHL) before committing to collegiate hockey with the University of North Dakota.[1] Prior to his freshman season with the Fighting Sioux, Poganski was selected at the 2014 NHL Entry Draft in the fourth round, 110th overall, by the St. Louis Blues.
On March 26, 2018, having completed his collegiate career with the Fighting Sioux following his senior season in 2017–18, Poganski signed a two-year, entry-level contract with the St. Louis Blues.[2]
In the pandemic delayed and shortened 2020–21 season, Poganski remained on the Blues roster primarily assigned to the club's extended taxi squad roster. Over the duration of the season, Poganski was limited to just 5 games, going scoreless.
As a free agent from the Blues, Poganski was signed to a one-year, two-way contract with the Winnipeg Jets on July 31, 2021.[3]
