Jacques, the Oilers second round pick (68th overall) in the 2003 NHL Entry Draft, was assigned to the Barons on a conditioning assignment. Last season, an injury cut Jacques' season short.

He has played 109 games with the Oilers, totalling 12 points (5-7-12) and 122 penalty minutes. In 255 games as a professional, he has scored 113 points (51-62-113) while serving 387 penalty minutes. Jacques is expected on the ice in Oklahoma City at practice tomorrow.

Deslauriers, the Oilers second round pick (31st overall) in the 2002 NHL Entry Draft, was loaned to the Barons by the Oilers. Last season, he appeared in 48 games with the Oilers, registering a 16- 28-4 record, 3.26 goals against average and .901 saves percentage. As a professional, the 6-4, 200-pounder from St. Jean-Richelieu, PQ has appeared in 212 games, sporting an 88-97-15 mark, 2.90 goals against average and .909 saves percentage. Deslauriers is expected on the ice Thursday in Oklahoma City.
