Playing career [edit]

He began his career in 1997-2000 playing for three seasons with Liptovský Mikuláš' Under 18 and Under 20 sides in the Slovakia youth leagues.

The 6-foot-4 Slovak was drafted by the Boston Bruins 241st overall in the 2001 NHL Entry Draft. After spending 3 seasons with the Halifax Mooseheads of the QMJHL, Jurcina began his AHL career with the Providence Bruins in the 2003–04 season and was brought into the main Boston Bruins roster during the 2005–06 NHL season.

On February 1, 2007, he was traded to the Washington Capitals for a conditional fourth-round draft pick in 2008.[2] Jurcina was re-signed to a two year deal by the Washington Capitals on July 27, 2007.[3]

Jurcina and Chris Clark were traded to the Columbus Blue Jackets on December 28, 2009, for winger Jason Chimera.[4]

He was selected to represent Slovakia in the 2010 Olympic Games in Vancouver, finishing fourth with his team.

At the 2009–2010 NHL Trade Deadline on March 3, 2010, Jurcina was traded back to the Washington Capitals for a conditional sixth-round draft pick in the 2010 NHL Draft.[5] His sports hernia surgery prevented him from playing in the remainder of the 2009–10 season. On July 2, 2010, Jurcina, a free agent, signed a one-year, $1 million deal with the New York Islanders.
