Jeffrey Petry (born December 9, 1987) is an American professional ice hockey defenceman playing for the Montreal Canadiens of the National Hockey League (NHL). He was selected by the Oilers in the 2nd round (45th overall) of the 2006 NHL Entry Draft.

Playing career

Early years

Born in Ann Arbor, Michigan and raised in Farmington Hills, Michigan, Petry spent three years playing varsity hockey at St. Mary's Preparatory, in nearby Orchard Lake Village, Michigan. He left prior to his senior season in November 2005, to play for the Des Moines Buccaneers, of the United States Hockey League (USHL). Petry was a member of the Buccaneers' 2006 Tier 1 National Championship winning team.

Petry was drafted by the Edmonton Oilers of the National Hockey League (NHL) in the second round of the 2006 NHL Entry Draft. He was the Oilers' highest draft pick, as the Oilers traded their first round pick to the Minnesota Wild in exchange for goaltender Dwayne Roloson. Petry would play the following season with the Buccaneers, once again reaching the playoffs.

In 2007, Petry accepted a scholarship with the Michigan State University. He registered 24 points (3 goals, 21 assists) and was named to the Central Collegiate Hockey Association (CCHA) All-Rookie team in his freshman year. The following season for Petry saw a drop in performance, as he was held to a total of 14 points (2 goals, 12 assists). Petry achieved a significant improvement to his game for his junior year at Michigan State, as he finished third overall in team scoring and first as a defenseman, collecting 29 points (4 goals, 25 assists).[1]

Petry was ever-present for his team, playing in all the Spartans' games for the three seasons he was there.[2]

Edmonton Oilers

Upon completing what would be his final year at collegiate level, Petry signed a two-year entry level contract with the Edmonton Oilers on March 10, 2010.[3] He was then briefly assigned to the Oilers' then-American Hockey League affiliates, the Springfield Falcons, playing in eight games. He played his first game as a professional, on March 26, 2010.

On September 30, 2010, Petry was assigned by the Oilers to their new AHL affiliates, the Oklahoma City Barons, for their inaugural season.[4] On December 27, 2010, the Edmonton Oilers recalled Petry from Oklahoma City. He made his NHL debut against the Buffalo Sabres on December 28, 2010, and recorded his first NHL Point, a secondary assist on a goal by Ryan Jones. His first NHL goal was scored on January 20, 2011 against Kari Lehtonen of the Dallas Stars. On February 4, 2011, Petry was reassigned to Oklahoma City Barons.

Petry improved in his second NHL season, leading all Oilers defensemen in point scoring with 25, and was trusted into a shutdown role along with Ladislav Šmíd.[5] He re-signed a two-year 3.4 million dollar contract with the Oilers on June 7, 2012.[6]

At the end of the 2010–2011 season, the Oilers reassigned Petry to Oklahoma City.[7] However, at the start of the 2011–2012 season, Petry broke training camp with Edmonton and played 3 regular season games before being assigned to Oklahoma City.[8] After only two games in the AHL, Petry was recalled back to Edmonton for the remainder of the season.[9] He became a fixture in the lineup playing in 73 NHL games.

The Oilers missed the playoffs in 2012, and Petry had the opportunity to play with Team USA in the 2012 IIHF World Championship.[10] Petry amassed 6 points in 9 games while The United States were eliminated in the quarterfinal by Finland.[11] Petry stayed as a permanent member of the Oilers for the lock-out shortened 2012–13 NHL season playing in all 48 games and unable to help them to the playoffs.

Montreal Canadiens

On March 2, 2015, he was traded from the Oilers to the Montreal Canadiens for a 2015 second round draft pick and conditional fifth round pick.[12]

Personal life

Petry is a second-generation professional athlete. His father, Dan Petry, is a former Major League Baseball pitcher, who earned a World Series ring as a member of the Detroit Tigers in 1984. Petry has an older brother, Matt. [13][14]
