Pavelec called up from Wolves
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
The Thrashers have called up Ondrej Pavelec from the Chicago Wolves to back up Johan Hedberg in goal tonight at New Jersey. Kari Lehtonen missed the morning skate because he was under the weather, and apparently he is ill enough the Thrashers didn’t want to have to play him even in an emergency capacity. Pavelec stopped 26 of 28 shots last night in a 2-1 loss at Iowa. Coach John Anderson said the plan all along was to play Hedberg against the Devils, his second start coming in the season’s 11th game.
The Devils are going to be plenty motivated tonight. They’re on a season-high three-game winless streak and tied a team record for a home game Wednesday night by allowing Toronto 48 shots on net. The Thrashers are on a five-game winless streak.
