Burt, 19, is eligible to return next season as an overager, but that certainly seems in question right now.

It's the second time this season that Burt has been sent home by the Sea Dogs. During the opening days of training camp, the Hillsburgh, Ont. native was sent home for not being in proper physical condition. He returned a few weeks later after shedding some weight.

Burt, in his second season with Saint John, has 15 goals and 19 assists in 50 games. His last game was on Feb. 10.

Saint John returns to action on Monday, hosting the Halifax Mooseheads at 2 p.m.
