Good news on Christensen
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Erik Christensen’s MRI turned up negative, which is a big positive for the Thrashers. Christensen, who will be given a chance to center the first line, hurt his shoulder in an intrasquad game on Tuesday. On Wednesday, coach John Anderson said Christensen is day to day. Christensen won’t be traveling to games Thursday at Nashville and Friday at St. Louis.
Also, forward Brad Larsen is day to day with an abdominal strain.
Zach Bogosian (hip) practiced today; he practiced during the first session on Tuesday. He won’t make the trip to Nashville and St. Louis.
Eric Perrin centered the line with Ilya Kovalchuk and Jason Williams today (Wednesday).
Another line is Colby Armstrong and Slava Kozlov centered by Todd White.
About a dozen of the young guys are gone.
The six defensemen working on this sheet of ice (they’re using both rinks) are Tobias Enstrom and Ken Klee, Bogosian and Boris Valabik, and Niclas Havelid and Grant Lewis. Lewis is the interesting guy in that mix; if it’s not a random addition, it could mean coach John Anderson wants to give him a good look.
There are a couple of lines made up of guys who also might be getting a fair look to see where they fit: Joe Motzko, Rylan Kaip and Jordan LaVallee is one; Chad Painchaud, Riley Holzapfel and Spencer Machacek is the other.
I don’t yet know who is making the trip to Nashville and St. Louis. I’ll let you know when I find out.
