INTERVIEWS: Rubins, Hollett to miss weeks with injuries
MEDICINE HAT, AB — The injury woes continue for the Medicine Hat Tigers.
According to the WHL weekly report, defenceman Kristians Rubins is the latest Tiger to suffer an injury. The report says Rubins is out with an upper body injury for the next three to four weeks.
Rubins is the latest member of the team to be placed on the injured reserve, joining forwards Mason Shaw (lower body, indefinite) and Hayden Ostir (broken finger, 3-5 weeks) and fellow blue-liner Linus Nassen (upper body injury, 2-3 weeks) and Joel Craven (upper body, week-to-week). The Tigers are bringing in 16-year-old defenceman Daniel Baker, who will arrive in the Gas City later Tuesday. Baker played three games with the Tigers earlier this season, with most of his time spent with the Northern Alberta X-Treme Prep club out of the CSSHL. He has nine goals and 26 points in 20 games with the midget-15 squad.
