The Philadelphia Flyers have traded forward Nicolas Deslauriers to the Carolina Hurricanes in exchange for a conditional seventh-round pick in 2027.
Deslauriers, 35, appeared in 24 games for the Flyers this season, recording one assist and 33 penalty minutes.
“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.”
