Brandon Gignac is a Canadian professional ice hockey forward for the Binghamton Devils of the American Hockey League as a prospect to the New Jersey Devils of the National Hockey League.

Playing career

Gignac played major junior hockey with the Shawinigan Cataractes of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League before he was selected in the third round, 80th overall, by the New Jersey Devils in the 2016 NHL Entry Draft.
During his final season with the Cataractes in the 2016–17, on November 12, 2016, he signed a three-year, entry-level contract with the Devils. After posting 62 points in 59 regular season games with Shawinigan, Gignac joined the Devils' AHL affiliate, the Albany Devils, on an amateur try-out basis following a first round defeat in the QMJHL playoffs. He made his professional debut in Albany's penultimate regular season game against the Rochester Americans in a 5–4 defeat on April 14, 2017.
In his first professional season, Gignac was assigned by New Jersey to new AHL affiliate, the Binghamton Devils, for their inaugural season in 2017–18. In his first two months, he contributed with just two goals and one assist, while also developing his two-way game before suffering a season-ending knee injury, tearing both his ACL and MCL, on December 13, 2017.
Before the 2018–19 season, Gignac participated in the Devils' training camp. On March 9, 2019, Gignac received his first call-up to the NHL by the Devils and made his NHL debut, making one shot and skating for 9:04 minutes as the Devils lost 4–2 to the New York Rangers.
