Back to work in Duluth
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
After a few days off for the All-Star break, the team returned to practice today. Some Zamboni issues meant the Thrashers couldn’t practice on their normal ice, but despite the hiccups, coach Bob Hartley seemed pleased with the effort. The practice featured the return of Andy Sutton to team practice, although he had a giant red jersey on, so hitting him was off-limits.
Steve McCarthy practiced at full speed, and will be play on Friday against the Islanders. How much, is still up in the air, but he said he’s ready for a full load.
Kari Lehtonen and Marian Hossa were both given the afternoon off, since they were busy all week in Dallas. Now starts a huge stretch of home games, with a possible 12 points on the line. How many points do you think the Thrashers need in these next six home games for it to be a successful home stand?
