Who's The New Guy?

Augusta was assigned defenseman Sean Blanchard from the Portland Pirates of the AHL prior to Monday's game with Gwinnett. Blanchard spent last season playing four games with Zurich in the Swiss Elite League with one assist and 14 minutes in penalties.

Blanchard will skate tonight as the Lynx visit the Gladiators at 7:35 pm.
