SYRACUSE, N.Y. - The Syracuse Crunch have loaned forward Nicolas Deschamps to the Florida Everblades of the ECHL, Crunch general manager Julien BriseBois announced today.

 

Deschamps, 25, has appeared in 11 games for Syracuse this season, registering one assist and two penalty minutes. He was claimed by the Crunch off of AHL waivers Feb. 5. The LaSalle, Quebec native signed with Oulu Kärpät in Finland to begin this season, moving on to the Straubing Tigers in Germany and Vienna Capitals in Austria.

 

Deschamps has played 295 AHL regular season games with Hershey, Toronto, Syracuse and Iowa, totaling 148 points (52g, 96a). With Syracuse as a rookie in 2010-11, Deschamps posted 46 points (15g, 31a) in 80 games. He tacked on seven points in 31 Crunch contests the following season before the Anaheim Ducks dealt him to the Toronto Maple Leafs organization Jan. 3, 2012.

 

Deschamps collected 30 points (7g, 23a) in 40 games for the Western Conference champion Marlies to finish the 2011-12 campaign, adding another 12 points (3g, 9a) in 17 postseason battles; the Marlies fell to Norfolk in the 2012 Calder Cup Finals.

 

Fifty games and 16 points into the 2012-13 season, another trade landed Deschamps in Hershey with the Washington Capitals organization. He posted seven points in 16 games for the Bears to close the regular season, plus three points in five playoff games.

 

Re-signing with the Caps for 2013-14, he registered 40 points (15g, 25a) in 65 games for Hershey and made his NHL debut Feb. 27, 2014; he played two more games with Washington but did not score.

 

The 6-foot, 173-lb. left-handed shooter was drafted in the second round of the 2008 draft by the Anaheim Ducks, 35th overall.

 

Single game and season tickets are on sale now and can be purchased either in person at the Crunch Box Office located at the War Memorial on 800 South State Street in Syracuse, or by calling the office at (315) 473-4444.
