Pavelec absent
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
There are two goalies at the Thrashers’ practice today, and neither is Ondrej Pavelec. Pavelec has been pulled in two of the team’s last three games, albeit with an excellent game in between at Ottawa. Kari Lehtonen hasn’t played since October but might be able to play Saturday against Tampa Bay, and NHL teams don’t carry three goalies.
There are seven defensemen, and two of them are Mathieu Schneider and Zach Bogosian. Garnet Exelby isn’t on the ice, suggesting his lower body injury continues to be a problem, and Scott Lehman isn’t out there, either, suggesting his three-minute NHL debut Thursday night was a very brief stay in the league and that Schneider will play Saturday night.
We’ll have a story when I can speak with someone about all of this.
