Inniss claimed by Sagueneens

Michael Hawkins/Saint John Sea Dogs

Christopher Inniss is now a member of the Chicoutimi Sagueneens.

The 20-year-old defenseman was the odd man out in the Saint John Sea Dogs' overage situation and was recently placed on waivers. Yanick Jean, head coach and general manager of the Sagueneens, tweeted late Friday that his team had claimed Inniss.

Bienvenue avec @SagueneensLHJMQ Christopher Inniss. Fier que tu puisses terminer ta carrière de 5 ans @LHJMQ avec nous.

Inniss has been part of the Sea Dogs for the past two seasons. In total, the defensive defenseman recorded two goals and 15 points in 61 games with the club.

Before being traded to Saint John, Inniss was a member of the Rimouski Oceanic for three seasons.

The Sags currently sit eighth in the Eastern Conference - just behind the Sea Dogs - with a record of 14-12-0-4 for 32 points.

The Sea Dogs are currently scheduled to play in Chicoutimi on Feb. 9, but it's unclear if that game will be played due to ongoing COVID issues.
