The Tampa Bay Lightning have signed forward Jaydon Dureau to a three-year entry-level contract. A fifth round pick by the Lightning in 2020, Dureau has spent most of the past four seasons playing for the Portland Winterhawks in the WHL. Dureau, who normally plays on the left wing, is on the smaller side being listed at 5’11” and 174 pounds.
Dureau is a bit of a late bloomer as a prospect. He was initially eligible for the NHL Entry Draft in 2019 and was not selected after posting 12 goals and 29 points in 67 games for the Winterhawks.
