The Edmonton Oilers have signed forward Raphael Lavoie to a three-year entry-level contract, the team announced on Saturday.

The Chambly, Que., native racked up 38 goals and 82 points with the Halifax Mooseheads and Chicoutimi Sagueneens in 52 regular-season games in the QMJHL this season. Lavoie joined Chicoutimi from Halifax in a Jan. 6 trade.

The six-foot-four, 196-pound forward also suited up for the gold-medal-winning Canadian team at the 2020 world juniors, recording two assists in seven games played.
