Blagden, Trenholm both suspended

Michael Hawkins/Saint John Sea Dogs
SAINT JOHN - The Saint John Sea Dogs' forward depth will be put to the test over the next few games.

The Sea Dogs dressed just 11 forwards for Friday's game in Halifax with Ryan Francis, Marshall Lessard and Olivier Picard all out. Now they'll be without the two players who were placed on the team's fourth line Friday: Nicholas Blagden and Connor Trenholm.

The Quebec Major Junior Hockey League announced Saturday that Blagden has been suspended 10 games for his staged fight with Halifax's Stephen Davis. Here's the news release from the league:

Sea Dogs forward Nicholas Blagden has been suspended for ten (10) games following a staged fight during last night’s game again the Halifax Mooseheads.

Blagden, a repeat offender, was suspended for five (5) games earlier in December for accumulation of codes 2.2 (fighting), aggressor and repeat offender.

Davis, who did not appear to be in great shape after the fight, has been suspended two games for taking part in the staged tilt.
Blagden has appeared in four games with Saint John since being acquired from the Moncton Wildcats, recording no points and 11 penalty minutes. He'll be eligible to return on March 12 when the Sea Dogs face the Wildcats.

Trenholm, meanwhile, has been suspended two games for boarding Halifax's Brady Schultz in the third period. Trenholm was given a five-minute major and game misconduct for checking from behind in the game.
After the hit, Trenholm had a short fight with Dylan MacKinnon of the Mooseheads. MacKinnon, who received an instigator misconduct, has been suspended one-game for an accumulation of fighting majors.

Trenholm will be eligible to return when the Sea Dogs visit the Mooseheads once again on Thursday.
