Moose ready; Lehtonen, Schneider not
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Johan Hedberg goes for three consecutive victories tonight, and the Thrashers go for five in a row, when Atlanta takes on Carolina at Philips.
Hedberg started just two of the first 13 games and now is getting a chance to play more consistently. He said he would have liked to play even quicker after his Sunday performance at Raleigh, when he stopped 35 of 37 shots against the Hurricanes.
“It certainly takes away some of the momentum, having the big break,” Hedberg said of the Thrashers’ four days off between games, “but at the same time I have more muscle memory from playing than I had before, so that’s a good thing.”
Kari Lehtonen (back) and Mathieu Schneider (hip flexor) did not participate in the skate Friday morning at Philips. Both have been listed as day to day for, well, days. There might be more sense of urgency about their absences if the team weren’t on a four-game winning streak without Lehtonen having played in any of those games and without Schneider having played in the last three.
