The Quebec City native joined the organization on July 11. During the current season, the 26-year-old netminder appeared in nine games between the pipes for the Lions.
Prior to joining the Trois-Rivières club, Duplessis played 22 games with the Utah Grizzlies (Colorado Avalanche) over the past two seasons.
