ANAHEIM, Calif. – The Anaheim Ducks announced on Friday that they have   signed former Allen Americans goalie Marco Cousineau to a one-year   contract   through the 2012-13 season (accepted qualifying offer).
 
Per club policy,   no financial terms of the deal were disclosed.
 

Selected by Anaheim in   the third round (83rd overall) of the 2008 NHL Entry Draft, Cousineau   made his professional debut with the Elmira Jackals
(ECHL) in 2010-11, posting a 21-16-5   record with a 3.23 GAA and .898 SV%.
 
He appeared in just one game   with   Elmira last season, before joining the Allen
 
Americans for the remainder   of the season. In 25 regular season contests, Cousineau went 16-4-4   (including three shutouts) with a 2.53 GAA and a .918 SV%.
 
Cousineau,   22, made his American Hockey League debut with the Syracuse Crunch in   January and won his first three games, including his AHL debut on Jan.   13 at Binghamton (W,   5-2). In six games, he went 3-2-0 with a 3.32 GAA and a .904 SV%.
 
The 6′, 195-pound native of St. Lazare, Quebec   played four seasons in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League (QMJHL)   from 2006-10, going 84-67-12 with a 3.11 GAA and .897 SV% in 176 games.
 
In 2007-08, Cousineau led the QMJHL in wins, finished fourth among   league goaltenders in GAA and was also named to the QMJHL Second-Team   All-Star squad.
