Early Life and Hockey Journey
Jérémy Lauzon grew up in Val-d’Or, Québec — a small mining city with deep hockey roots. He started his organized hockey career in 2012 with the Amos Forestiers of the Quebec Junior Triple-A Hockey League (QMAAA), scoring 15 points in 41 games as a young teenager.
In 2013, Lauzon leveled up to the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League (QMJHL), joining the Rouyn-Noranda Huskies.
He quickly turned into one of the league’s most dominant defensive blueliners, recording 50 points in just 46 games during the 2015–16 season and earning a QMJHL Second All-Star Team selection.
His strong junior performance caught Boston’s attention early. The Boston Bruins selected him in the second round, 52nd overall, at the 2015 NHL Draft.
He signed his entry-level contract in November 2015 after a blistering 13-game point streak to open the season.
Lauzon spent the 2016–17 season completing his junior career before joining the Providence Bruins — Boston’s AHL affiliate — in 2017.
A concussion early in his first AHL season briefly slowed him down, but he recovered to make his full NHL debut the following year.
He also represented Canada internationally, winning a silver medal at the 2017 World Junior Championships, where he scored two goals in seven games.
NHL Career
Jérémy Lauzon made his NHL debut on October 25, 2018, in a 3–0 Bruins win over the Philadelphia Flyers.
He scored his first career NHL goal just weeks later on November 11, 2018, against the Vegas Golden Knights.
Lauzon spent four seasons in the Bruins organization before the 2021 NHL Expansion Draft changed his path entirely.
The newly formed Seattle Kraken claimed him from Boston, placing him on their inaugural opening-night roster.
He quickly established himself as Seattle’s hardest hitter, leading the team in hits before the Kraken traded him to the Nashville Predators in March 2022 in exchange for a second-round draft pick.
Nashville was impressed enough to lock him in long-term, signing him to a four-year, $8 million contract in June 2022.
His Nashville tenure defined his reputation as one of the NHL’s most physical players. In the 2023–24 season, Lauzon set the NHL record for most hits in a single season with 383 — surpassing Matt Martin’s previous mark of 382 set in 2014–15.
That record was later broken by Kiefer Sherwood in March 2025.
A head injury in early 2025 cut his final Nashville season to just 28 games. Following the season, on June 30, 2025, Nashville traded Lauzon and Colton Sissons to the Vegas Golden Knights in exchange for Nicolas Hague and a conditional 2027 third-round pick.
With Vegas in 2025–26, Lauzon recorded 13 points and 251 hits through 68 games before suffering a head injury during the playoffs against the Anaheim Ducks.

NHL Contract
Lauzon’s most significant contract is the four-year deal he signed with the Nashville Predators on June 13, 2022, worth $8 million total with a $2 million annual average value (AAV).
That contract carried him through the 2025–26 season — his final year — which he played with the Vegas Golden Knights after the June 2025 trade.
Per Spotrac and The Stanley Cap, his cap hit with Nashville was 2.42% of the salary cap. As of the 2025–26 season, Lauzon was in the final year of that Predators deal as a pending UFA.
NHL Salary
Lauzon’s current annual salary is $2 million AAV under his Nashville-signed contract.
His highest-earning NHL seasons have all come during the Predators era (2022–2026), earning $2 million per season — a significant jump from the $850,000 per year he earned under his Bruins extension.
