Blachman Suspended One Game

It only took Nico Blachman one game to earn his first QMJHL suspension.

The new Sea Dogs forward has been given a one game suspension for a staged fight against former Dog Kelly Bent. The fight occurred in the second period of Saint John’s 3-2 overtime victory over the Halifax Mooseheads on Saturday.

Here’s the fight, via John Moore:

Bent was suspended two games.

The 17-year-old Blachman, a Hollywood, Florida native, signed with the Sea Dogs as a free agent last week. A Lake Superior State commit at one time, Blachman appeared in seven USHL games with the Chicago Steel this season.

The Sea Dogs’ next game is on Friday in Baie-Comeau.
