Career

Desharnais began his career as a hockey player with the Saguenéens de Chicoutimi , for which he was active from 2003 to 2007 in the Canadian junior league QMJHL . In 2005, 2006 and 2007 he won the Frank J. Selke trophy three times in a row as the most exemplary player and in 2007 was also named CHL Sportsman of the Year . In the 2005/06 season he was elected to the second All-Star Team of the QMJHL. Towards the end of the 2006/07 season Desharnais signed a trial contract with the Bridgeport Sound Tigers , for which he scored a goal and an assist in seven games in the American Hockey League by the end of the season . The center then joined the Cincinnati Cyclones from the ECHL . With these he won the Kelly Cup straight away in the 2007/08 season . He made a significant contribution to this success. In the regular season he scored 106 points in 68 games, including 29 goals, making him the top scorer of the ECHL . In addition, he was able to score nine goals and provide 24 assists in the playoffs in 22 games. At the end of the season he was named Rookie of the Year at ECHL and also the most valuable player in the league . During the season he also came to four missions for Cincinnati's cooperation partner Hamilton Bulldogs in the AHL.

From 2008 to 2010 Desharnais was a regular with the Hamilton Bulldogs, with whom he failed in the 2009/10 season in the playoff semifinals of the AHL against the Texas Stars . Parallel to the game with Hamilton, he ran in the 2009/10 season in six games in the National Hockey League for the Canadiens de Montréal , whose farm team is Hamilton and with whom he had signed a contract as a free agent in November 2008 , and prepared in a goal before this period. The Canadian started the 2010/11 season with the Hamilton Bulldogs in the AHL, but was then able to earn a regular place with the Canadiens de Montréal in the NHL from January until the end of the season. The center's final breakthrough in the NHL came in the 2011/12 season when he scored 60 points in 81 games for the Canadiens and was third in the team's scorer list.

In the 2012/13 season, which was characterized by the lockout in the NHL , Desharnais played in the Swiss National League A at Friborg-Gottéron . But he soon returned to Montréal and was active for the Franco-Canadians until February 2017, before he was given to the Edmonton Oilers in exchange for Brandon Davidson . In addition, his ex-employer took over a fifth of his salary for the rest of the season.

After the end of the 2016/17 season, however, Desharnais did not receive a further contract in Edmonton, so he joined the New York Rangers as a free agent in July 2017 . He fulfilled this before he decided to move to Europe in July 2018 and moved to Lokomotive Yaroslavl in the Continental Hockey League . A month later he left the club - due to disagreements with the coach - and was signed by HK Awangard Omsk . With Awangard he reached the final of the Gagarin Cup , in which Awangard was defeated by HK CSKA Moscow . Desharnais then returned to Switzerland when he again signed a contract with Friborg-Gottéron.
