The Ducks have signed goaltender Jean-Phillippe Levasseur to a one-year contract extension.
The 23-year-old was as affected as anyone by the Ducks’ lack of an American Hockey League affiliate last season. The 6-foot, 199-pound goalie appeared in 16 games for Laredo of the Central Hockey League (10-3-3, 2.31 GAA, .919 SV%), five for Bakersfield of the ECHL (2-3-0, 3.63, .903) and 25 for Springfield of the AHL (8-16-1, 3.59 GAA, .896).
Levasseur was a seventh-round draft pick by the Ducks in 2005.
