He appeared in six games with San Diego this season, recording two assists (0-2=2) with a +2 rating. He collected his first career professional point (assist), Nov. 11 vs. the Colorado Eagles.
The 6-2, 195-pound defenseman was named the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League (QMJHL) Defenseman of the Year in 2022-23 after scoring 20-63=83 points with a +49 rating in 65 games for Gatineau.
