The Hershey Bears announced Sunday afternoon that rookie defenseman Connor Hobbs will miss six to eight weeks of action with a fractured wrist, sustained Saturday night in Hershey’s loss to Toronto.

Hobbs injured himself after Marlies defensemen Timothy Liljegrena moved out the way of a check Hobbs was attempting.

He did not return to the game after the injury, as Hershey would go on to lose 4-1 to Toronto.

The Bears had recalled defenseman Kris Bindilus from South Carolina in a move prior to the injury announcement of Hobbs Sunday morning.
