Arvanitis’ Rookie of the Month title was announced Friday, February 2nd, the beginning of a three-day homestand against one of his former teams, the Rapid City Rush. It was only fitting that Arvanitis was in net on Friday. However, when it came time for the second period of the game, Arvanitis did not return to the ice, and instead Mariners goalie Kyle Keyser replaced him in net. It’s been reported that Arvanitis suffered an injury, but it is not yet clear exactly what happened.
