Anaheim Ducks sign goaltender Jeff Deslauriers to two-year contract
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}ANAHEIM, Calif. - Goalie Jeff Deslauriers has agreed to a two-year contract with the Anaheim Ducks.
The Ducks announced the deal on Tuesday.
Deslauriers spent parts of two seasons from 2008-10 as a backup goalie with the Edmonton Oilers, winning 20 games with a 3.01 goals-against average. The former high draft pick has never reached his NHL potential, spending last season in the AHL.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Deslauriers is likely to compete with Dan Ellis in Anaheim for the backup job behind all-star goalie Jonas Hiller.
The Ducks haven't re-signed Ray Emery, who filled in for the injured Hiller during the Ducks' run to the Western Conference playoffs.
The Ducks also acquired speedy centre Andrew Cogliano from Edmonton for a second-round draft pick in 2013.
