Tigers awaiting MRI results for Mason Shaw
MEDICINE HAT, AB — The Medicine Hat Tigers are still waiting to find out the extent of the injury to forward Mason Shaw.
Shaw, who was drafted by the Minnesota Wild in this year’s NHL entry draft, injured his right knee while playing with the Wild during a prospects tournament in Michigan this weekend. The injury happened Saturday during a game against the Columbus Blue Jackets, and occurred after a player fell on Shaw’s leg.
He was scheduled to undergo an MRI in Minneapolis on Wednesday, but the team is still awaiting the results, which will determine the amount of time in the regular season Shaw will miss. Some outlets, including The Athletic, are reporting Shaw could miss up to six months, though nothing has been confirmed.
