Before playing in the NHL, Deslauriers played parts of three seasons with the Chicoutimi Saguenéens of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League (QMJHL).

He was drafted 31st overall by the Edmonton Oilers in the 2002 NHL entry draft. He was immediately sent down to play for their AHL and ECHL-affiliates Edmonton Roadrunners and Greenville Grrrowl.

On November 23, 2009, he recorded his first NHL shutout, stopping 36 shots in a 4–0 win against the Phoenix Coyotes.

On November 1, 2010, the Oilers placed him on waivers and he was sent down to play for their AHL-affiliate Oklahoma City Barons.
