Pascal Dupuis (born April 7, 1979) is a Canadian professional ice hockey left winger who currently plays for the Pittsburgh Penguins of the National Hockey League (NHL). == Playing career == Pascal Dupuis started his career with the Rouyn-Noranda Huskies of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League. He played four seasons in the QMJHL, but was never drafted by an NHL club. On August 18, 2000, he was signed by the Minnesota Wild. It took Dupuis a year of development in the International Hockey League before he became a regular player in the NHL. In his second full season, he scored 20 goals and 48 points while having a plus-minus rating of +17. However, in 2003–04, he was bothered by injuries and he was unable to improve on his totals from the previous year. During the 2004–05 NHL lock-out, Dupuis played 8 games for HC Ajoie of the Swiss League. When the NHL returned in 2005–06, Dupuis managed only 26 points in 67 games. After 48 games with the Wild in the 2006–07 season, he was traded to the New York Rangers for Adam Hall on February 9, 2007. On February 27, 2007, he was traded again, this time to the Atlanta Thrashers for Alex Bourret. On February 9, 2008, he was traded to the Pittsburgh Penguins, where he helped them to the 2008 Stanley Cup Finals. He won the Stanley Cup with Pittsburgh in 2009. On June 28, 2011, he re-signed for 2 more years, keeping him through the 2012–13 season. On December 11, 2008, in his 461st game, Dupuis scored his first NHL hat-trick in a game against the New York Islanders. On November 14, 2009, he earned his 100th career goal, an overtime game winner against the Boston Bruins. As an impending free agent on July 2, 2013, Dupuis opted to remain in Pittsburgh and re-signed to a four-year contract extension. In the 2013–14 season, on December 23, 2013, Dupuis suffered a season ending knee injury (torn right anterior cruciate ligament). Teammate Sidney Crosby was hip-checked by Senators defenceman Marc Methot. Crosby then hit Dupuis, who went crashing to the boards. He was helped off the ice and did not return.〔 The Penguins lost 5–0 to the Senators, ending a 7 game winning streak, in which Dupuis had scored 3 goals and 2 assists during the streak. On February 12, 2014, after a long seven-and-a-half-week wait between injury and appointment, he underwent successful surgery to repair his ACL. On October 16, 2014, during the second period of a game against the Dallas Stars, Dupuis was crosschecked to the ice by an opponent and while prone was struck by the puck near the back of his neck on a shot by teammate Kris Letang. Dupuis dropped to his knees and then laid on the ice for several minutes while attended to by medical staff from both teams. He was eventually stretchered off the ice. Dupuis would return to action days later. On November 19, 2014, Dupuis was diagnosed with a blood clot in the lung. He did not play the day before in Montreal and left practice two days before with tightness in his chest. The medical staff said that the blood clot travelled from the leg to the lung. Expected to be out six months, he did not play for the remainder of the 2014–15 season. It was the second such incident for Dupuis; he had previously been diagnosed with a blood clot in January 2014, shortly after he suffered the knee injury, and was on blood thinners for six months while recovering from surgery and rehabilitating his knee. 〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Penguins' Dupuis Diagnosed With Blood Clot In His Lung, Will Be Sidelined At Least Six Months )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Pascal Dupuis」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
