?Nikita has an old injury that is bothering him, so he will not accompany our rookie team to Traverse City for the NHL Prospects Tournament,? said Howson. ?He?ll rehab the injury here and be re-evaluated in the next 10 days to two weeks.?
Filatov, 18, was the club?s top pick, sixth overall, at this year?s Entry Draft. He tallied 32 goals and 34 assists for 66 points with 90 penalty minutes in 34 games with CSKA (Russia-3) in 2007-08 and led Russia?s team that won the silver medal at the 2008 World Junior Championships with 3-6-9 and 29 penalty minutes in six games.
