Cornwall River Kings acquire Danick Malouin in trade

Cornwall Ontario  — The River Kings have acquired Danick Malouin from the Jonquiere Marquis.

Malouin, 25, is expected to be in the lineup this weekend. The 6-foot-4 defenceman had an assist in two games with the Marquis this season. He also had 12 penalty minutes.

Malouin is a graduate of the QMJHL and he also played in the CIS.

Cornwall shipped Oliver Magnan’s rights to Jonquiere. Magnan was a recent claim off waivers and never suited up for Cornwall.

Also this weekend, David Croteau will make his River Kings debut.

Cornwall visits Sorel-Tracy on Friday night and hosts Laval on Saturday at the Civic Complex. Game time is 7:30 p.m.
