ANAHEIM, Calif. – The Anaheim Ducks announced today that the National Hockey League (NHL) club has signed goaltender Jeff Drouin-Deslauriers to a two-year contract.
Deslauriers, 27 (5/15/84), most recently appeared in the NHL with the Edmonton Oilers in 2009-10, posting a 16-28-4 record while compiling a 3.26 goals-against average (GAA) and .901 save percentage (SV%). He recorded his first NHL shutout on Nov. 23, 2009, stopping all 36 shots he faced in a 4-0 Edmonton win over Phoenix. Deslauriers strung together a career-high five consecutive wins (5-0-0) from Dec. 3-12, 2009, with a .938 SV% and 1.94 GAA during that stretch. He made his NHL debut with the Oilers in 2008-09, recording his first win on the same night, a 4-3 victory over Calgary on Oct. 17, 2008 (26 saves).
A native of St. Jean-Richelieu, Quebec, Deslauriers appeared in 35 contests with the Oklahoma City Barons of the American Hockey League (AHL) in 2010-11, recording a 2.81 GAA and .906 SV%.

Selected by Edmonton in the second round (31st overall) of the 2002 NHL Entry Draft, Deslauriers has appeared in 58 career NHL contests with the Oilers, posting a 3.27 GAA, .901 SV%, and three shutouts. In addition, the 6-4, 200-pound netminder has appeared in 150 career AHL games, going 76-72-14 with a 2.80 GAA and seven shutouts.
