The Edmonton Oilers have inked forward Raphael Lavoie to an entry-level contract, the team announced Saturday.

Edmonton selected Lavoie, 19, with the 38th overall pick of the 2019 NHL Draft.

Traded by the Halifax Mooseheads to the Chicoutimi Sagueneens in January, the 6-foot-4 center racked up 38 goals and 82 points through 55 games between the two QMJHL clubs this season. The QMJHL officially canceled its season on March 17 due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Lavoie also represented Canada at the 2020 world juniors, contributing two assists through seven games to help his team capture a gold medal.
