Crabb to play tonight

Joey Crabb makes his NHL debut tonight for the Thrashers, in place of Erik Christensen on the third line. Crabb also will appear on the penalty kill, and that might be his biggest opportunity to make a case that he belongs on the ice. The Thrashers rank 29th out of the 30 NHL teams in penalty killing, at 74 percent.

The Thrashers play the Predators tonight at 7:30.

Kari Lehtonen might be back skating in a couple of days after having an injection Thursday as part of the treatment for his ailing back. “There’s a series of things he had to do,” Thrashers coach John Anderson said. “This is the last one. We’ll find out probably Sunday or Monday if he can skate.” Lehtonen last played on Oct. 30 against the New York Rangers.
