Two Dogs claimed off waivers

SAINT JOHN - A couple more roster adjustments were made by the Saint John Sea Dogs following Monday's Quebec Major Junior Hockey League trade deadline.

The team announced that defenceman Olivier DesRoches has been claimed off waivers by the Halifax Mooseheads while forward Jeremie Jacob has been claimed by the Acadie-Bathurst Titan. Both players had been used sparingly by the Sea Dogs this season, falling down the team's depth chart over the past couple months.

DesRoches, 18, was acquired in a trade with the Shawinigan Cataractes during training camp. The d-man recorded two assists in 23 games with Saint John.

Jacob, 18, was a sixth round pick of the Sea Dogs in the 2017 QMJHL Entry Draft. He recorded one assist in 22 games with Saint John this season after recording seven goals and eight helpers in 60 contests with the club last year.

Jacob made his debut with the Titan on Wednesday night in Charlottetown.

The status of forward James White is unclear at this time. The team has not made any official announcement, but White no longer appears on the club's roster and was not announced or listed as a scratch on Wednesday.

Meanwhile, forward Alexis Belisle, who the Sea Dogs traded to the Victoriaville Tigres on Monday for a couple draft picks, will not report to his new team, according to Victoriaville media.

Elsewhere, former Sea Dogs captain Nicolas Guay, traded to Rimouski at the start of the Christmas break, recorded his 100th career QMJHL goal on Thursday night, helping the Oceanic defeat the Quebec Remparts 2-1.
