Tigers beat Regina 1-0, which is hilarious considering the circus games they had against Regina earlier this season with double digit goals scored in them. McKenna registered an assist on the lone goal to keep his point streak alive at (I think) 31 games? He's falling behind Cristall in the points race though, now 4 back. Cristall made out like a bandit getting traded to Spokane and getting put on a line with Catton and Van Olm. Catton has been on fire since returning from the WJC, and is now 3rd in the scoring race and has caught up to Gavin in points per game at 2.05 points per game.
Tigers are still without Pickford who is out week to week, and last night Woo left the game early. Not good.
Hurricanes lost to Edmonton last night in regulation, the OK's are without leading scorer G Swachyn week to week, but the Canes are still without Marques, Gustafson and have added Wormald to the injured list week to week. Those are three big guns missing, injuries really suck.

Braillard also left the game in the 1st against EOK. Injury bug is hitting hard, 4 of our top 6 forwards could be out.
From what I've heard, sounds like Wormald shouldn't be too long, and Marques is thinking mid-March assuming all goes well with his arm. Gustafson is unknown as to length of absense.
Guess I'd rather have these guys out now than in late March, but hopefully they're back in the lineup soon. Haven't looks great as of late, lots of guys playing up in the lineup. Yager has been carrying this team. He's unreal when he's on his game.
