The Carolina Hurricanes bolstered their roster Friday by obtaining veteran forward Nicolas Deslauriers from Philadelphia, sending the Flyers a conditional seventh-round selection in the 2027 draft.
The 35-year-old forward has tallied one assist while accumulating 33 penalty minutes across 24 appearances this season for Philadelphia.
“This adds depth and experience to our forward group,” Hurricanes general manager Eric Tulsky said. “Nicolas is a strong, physical player who plays with an edge, factors that become even more important as we get to the postseason.”
Throughout his NHL career spanning 701 regular season contests, Deslauriers has contributed 105 points consisting of 53 goals and 52 assists, while racking up 794 penalty minutes. His journey has taken him through Buffalo (2013-17), Montreal (2017-19), Anaheim (2019-22), Minnesota (2022), and Philadelphia (2022-26). Los Angeles originally selected him in the third round of the 2009 NHL Draft.
