Jeffrey Drouin-Deslauriers (born May 15, 1984) is a professional ice hockey goaltender who currently plays for the Edmonton Oilers of the National Hockey League (NHL). He was selected by the Oilers in the second round of the 2002 NHL Entry Draft with the 31st overall pick.
Deslauriers was selected from Chicoutimi of the QMJHL, where he was the starting goaltender for three seasons. He was twice the runner up for the backup job on Canada's World Junior Championship team.
The 2004-05 season was Deslauriers' first professional experience. He split time between the Edmonton Road Runners of the AHL and the Greenville Grrrowl of the ECHL. It was not a good season for Deslauriers, as he fought injury problems, and played for an AHL team that failed to make the playoffs.
