It was Roy's first game since Nov. 18. He now has 10 goals and nine assists in 16 games this season. He's been held pointless in just two of those games.
The Sea Dogs traded Roy, the first overall pick in the 2019 QMJHL Entry Draft, to the Phoenix in exchange for three first-round draft picks and second rounder. The 17-year-old requested a trade from the team.
The Roy deal was one of a few trades that saw Sea Dogs regulars dealt to new teams. One of the others saw Alex Drover traded to the Rimouski Oceanic, where the forward has recorded two goals and two assists in three games with his new club.
Drover made his Oceanic debut last weekend. He now has six goals and five assists in 17 games this year.
Dawson Stairs, meanwhile, has yet to play for the Cape Breton Eagles due to quarantine. According to the Eagles radio broadcast on Saturday, Stairs' isolation period ends on Feb. 1. Cape Breton's next game is on Saturday in Charlottetown.
Stairs, who has three goals and five assists in 13 games, was traded to the Eagles in the Ryan Francis deal.
In the Maritime Junior Hockey League, defenseman Benjamin Roode made his debut with the Yarmouth Mariners on Friday, recording an assist in a 5-3 victory in Truro. Roode appeared in two games with the Sea Dogs in the first half before being reassigned to the MHL.
