Lauri Korpikoski (born July 28, 1986) is a Finnish professional ice hockey left winger who is currently playing for the Dallas Stars. He most recently played with the Edmonton Oilers of the National Hockey League (NHL). Korpikoski has also played in the NHL for the Arizona Coyotes, and the New York Rangers, the organization that drafted him in the first round, 19th overall, at the 2004 NHL Entry Draft.
Playing career
Korpikoski was drafted in the first round, 19th overall, in the 2004 NHL Entry Draft by the New York Rangers. He originally played for TPS' junior team in the SM-liiga before moving up to the main team for the 2004–05 season. He then played two seasons of professional hockey in Finland before joining the Rangers' American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, the Hartford Wolf Pack, after TPS' 2005–06 season; he played five regular season games and 11 playoff games for Hartford for the team's 2005–06 AHL season.
In 2006–07, Korpikoski had 11 goals and 38 points for the Wolf Pack, while in 2007–08, in his second year with the team, he bested his previous year's totals, scoring 23 goals and having 50 points, also scoring two points in five Calder Cup playoff games. Following Hartford's first round exit from the playoffs, Korpikoski was named to the Rangers' reserves squad for the team's 2008 Stanley Cup playoff run. On May 4, He dressed for Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals against the Pittsburgh Penguins, and 2:03 into the game's third period, he scored his first career NHL goal on just his second-ever shot. The goal brought the Rangers to within one goal of tying (which they did), although the team eventually lost in overtime, eliminating them from the playoffs.
After scoring points in every pre-season game in which he played, Korpikoski survived cuts to make the Rangers' 23-man roster for the start of the 2008–09 season, the only rookie to make the team. He later scored his first career regular season NHL goal against Kevin Weekes of the New Jersey Devils on November 12, 2008.
On July 13, 2009, Korpikoski was traded to the Phoenix Coyotes in exchange for Enver Lisin. On July 11, 2013, the Coyotes re-signed Korpikoski to a four-year contract extension.[1]
On June 30, 2015, with two seasons left on his contract, Korpikoski was traded by the rebuilding Coyotes to the Edmonton Oilers in exchange for Boyd Gordon.[2] He scored his first career NHL hat trick on December 11, 2015 against the New York Rangers.[3]
After only one year in Edmonton, on June 30, 2016, Korpikoski was placed on unconditional waivers by the Oilers for the purpose of buying out the final year of his contract.[4]
Before the start of the 2016-17 NHL season, the Calgary Flames had signed Korpikoski to a Professional tryout, but released him on October 9th at his request to pursue a contract offer.
On October 10th, he signed a one-year 1 million dollar contract with the Dallas Stars.[5]
