The team announced via Twitter that defenseman Carson Gallant has been assigned to the Maritime Hockey League's Valley Wildcats. Gallant will remain an affiliate player with the Sea Dogs, meaning we may see him again this season at some point.

The move doesn't come as a surprise. Gallant hasn't played since Dec. 9 and a healthy Brendan Sibley and the welcoming of overager Benjamin Gagne move him further down the team's depth chart.
The 17-year-old appeared in 19 games with the Sea Dogs this year and did not register a point. He had one assist in 24 games with the Gatineau Olympiques last season.
Gallant, a Sackville, NS native, last played with the Wildcats in 2016-17 where he had seven goals and 12 assists in 38 games. Valley is having a rough year and sits in the basement of the MHL standings with a record of 5-20-3.
The Sea Dogs host the Charlottetown Islanders on Monday at 2 p.m.
