Kari’s back
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Kari Lehtonen is back at practice today, having recovered enough from his back injury to skate with the team. The Thrashers’ No. 1 goalie hasn’t played since October.
Defenseman Mathieu Schneider, out the last three games, is not at practice.
Here’s today’s statistical tidbit: The Thrashers’ three goalies all lead the team in something. Johan Hedberg has the best record, 5-4-1, compared with Lehtonen’s 2-5-2 and Ondrej Pavelec’s 2-5. Lehtonen has the best save percentage at .903, compared with .899 for Pavelec and .888 for Hedberg. Pavelec has the best goals against average, 3.17 compared with Lehtonen’s 3.44 and Hedberg’s 3.61.
