Jonathan Marchessault (English: /ˈmɑːrʃəsoʊ/;[1] né Audy-Marchessault; born December 27, 1990) is a Canadian professional ice hockey forward who plays for the Nashville Predators of the National Hockey League (NHL). He has previously played for the Columbus Blue Jackets, Tampa Bay Lightning, Florida Panthers, and the Vegas Golden Knights.
After being selected by the Golden Knights in the 2017 NHL Expansion Draft, Marchessault has been one of the core pieces of the team offense, and helped Vegas become the first expansion team to reach the Stanley Cup Finals in their inaugural season since the 1967–68 St. Louis Blues. Marchessault went on to win the Conn Smythe Trophy as the most valuable player of the Golden Knights' victory in the 2023 Stanley Cup Finals, becoming the first undrafted player to win the award since Wayne Gretzky in 1988. Marchessault helped Vegas become the sixth team to win the Stanley Cup in their first six years.
