Tigres add Blain to blue-line


The Victoriaville Tigres continue to add to their blue-line as they have acquired defenceman Jeremie Blain from the Acadie-Bathurst Titan.


In return, the Tigres send 18-year-old defenceman Francois Godin, Bathurst's third-round pick in 2012, a first-round pick in 2013 and a second-round pick in 2013.

Blain, 19, scored six goals and 24 points for the Titan in 29 games this season and was a fourth-round pick by the Edmonton Oilers in 2010.

Godin was a sixth-round pick by the Tigres in 2010 and has two goals and eight points in 34 games.

The Tigres have acquired Matthew Hobbs from the P.E.I. Rocket, Daniel Milan from the Moncton Wildcats and now Blain from the Titan in the last week. The team recently released 20-year-old defenceman Guillaume Rousseau.
