Playing career

Halischuk was drafted 117th overall in the 2007 NHL Entry Draft by the New Jersey Devils. He was drafted from the Ontario Hockey League (OHL) where he played for the Kitchener Rangers and the Toronto St. Michael's Majors.

He was selected to Team Canada for the 2008 IIHF World U20 Championship.[1] At the U20 Championship he scored the game winning goal in overtime of the gold medal game.[2]

Halischuk made his professional debut in the 2008–09 season with the Lowell Devils, AHL affiliate of the New Jersey Devils. Halischuk played his first NHL game against the Toronto Maple Leafs on October 29, 2008 and recorded an assist before returning to Lowell for the remainder of the year.[3] In the following 2009–10 season Halischuk scored his first NHL goal against Jose Theodore in a 5-2 victory over the Washington Capitals on November 14, 2009.[4]

On June 19, 2010, Halischuk was traded by the Devils, along with a second round draft pick, to the Nashville Predators for Captain Jason Arnott.[5]

On April 30, 2011, Halischuk scored the game winning goal in the 2nd overtime of Game 2 of the Western Conference Semifinal series against the Vancouver Cannucks to even up the series at 1-1. It was Nashville's first ever win in the 2nd round of the NHL playoffs.

On July 7, 2011, Halischuk signed a two-year contract with the Nashville Predators. [6]
