Another NHL prospect is joining the Saint John Sea Dogs lineup after a trade earlier this week.
The Sea Dogs have acquired overage goaltender Zachary Emond in a trade with Rouyn-Noranda.
In return, the Huskies received a fourth-round pick in 2023 and a sixth-round pick in 2022.
Emond was selected in the sixth round of the 2018 NHL Draft by San Jose.
The Quebec native signed a standard entry-level contract with the team in May 2019.
Trevor Georgie, president and general manager of the Sea Dogs, said Emond is very experienced and will enhance the leadership in their dressing room.

“We have seen that first-hand playing against him in the same division and it will be nice to now have him in our lineup,” Georgie said in a news release.
