Jonathan Audy-Marchessault (born December 27, 1990 in Cap-Rouge , Québec ) is a Canadian ice hockey player who has been under contract with the Vegas Golden Knights of the National Hockey League since June 2017 and plays for them in the position of the center . He was previously active in the NHL for the Columbus Blue Jackets , Tampa Bay Lightning and Florida Panthers .

Career

Marchessault began his career with the Remparts de Québec , for which he was on the ice between 2007 and 2011 over a period of four seasons in the junior league Ligue de hockey junior majeur du Québec . There he was able to increase his offensive statistics annually and ended the 2010/11 season with 95 points from 68 games. The Canadian was then committed in June 2011 by the Connecticut Whale from the American Hockey League , where he played his first professional season in the 2011/12 season, in which he was the player with the highest points in his team with 21 goals and 40 submissions. As a result of his performance, Marchessault received an entry-level contract with the Columbus Blue Jackets from the National Hockey League in the summer of 2012 , but spent most of the subsequent season with their farm team Springfield Falcons in the AHL and only came up with two missions for the Blue Jackets in the top division of North America .

In March 2014, the attacker was transferred to the Tampa Bay Lightning along with Dalton Smith in exchange for Dana Tyrell and Matt Taormina . There, too, he was mainly used in the AHL at the Syracuse Crunch in the following year and a half , but was able to record his first goal in the NHL in the 3-2 win over the Boston Bruins in April 2015 . After Marchessault ended the 2014/15 season with 67 points scorer as the highest point player in the Syracuse team, he received a one-year contract extension with the Lightning in summer 2015 . In November 2015, the Canadian was appointed to the NHL squad for the first time on a long-term basis, where he was able to fight for a temporary regular place due to convincing offensive performances with 10 scorer points from 20 games and due to injury-related losses of some players.

After the 2015/16 season, Marchessault did not receive a new contract in Tampa, so he joined the Florida Panthers as a free agent in July 2016 and signed a two-year contract there. In June 2017 he was selected by the Vegas Golden Knights in the 2017 NHL Expansion Draft , with Florida - in order to protect other players in their squad from being elected - also sent Reilly Smith to Vegas and the Golden Knights a four-round vote in the 2018 NHL Entry Draft to the Panthers. Marchessault had already scored 30 goals for the Panthers in 2016/17 and was one of the many Golden Knights players in the debut season who were able to significantly increase their personal statistics, he recorded 75 scorer points and was second within the team behind William Karlsson . He also signed a new five-year contract in Vegas in January 2018, which should bring him a total salary of $ 30 million. Since Reilly Smith scored 60 points and became the team's fourth-best scorer, the transfer carried out in the Expansion Draft is seen as a clear mistake on the part of the Panthers and at the same time seen as a reason for the immediate success of the Golden Knights, the team surprisingly reached the playoffs in 2018 the final of the Stanley Cup , but was subject to the Washington Capitals .

International

Marchessault made his international debut in the jersey of the Canadian national team at the 2019 World Cup in Slovakia , where he won the silver medal with the team.
