Selected by Detroit in the third round, 63rd overall, of the 2014 NHL Entry Draft, Turgeon has skated in nine games with Detroit since debuting in 2017-18 and totaled two PIM. He became the 167th Griffins alumnus to play in the NHL when he debuted on Jan. 14, 2018 at Chicago.

Turgeon has recorded 70 points (26-44—70), a plus-21 rating and 70 PIM in 212 regular season games with Grand Rapids since 2016-17. He shows five points (2-3—5), a plus-one rating and two PIM in 22 postseason tilts and helped the Griffins win the franchise’s second Calder Cup in 2017 as a rookie.
