Happy New Year to Moose
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Johan Hedberg starts tonight for the first time since Dec. 30. He’s 1-0-1 against the Maple Leafs this season, so it makes sense with a game tomorrow at Nashville that the Thrashers went with Hedberg instead of Kari Lehtonen tonight.
Joey Crabb is the healthy scratch among the forwards, with Nathan Oystrick scratched again on defense. Crabb’s absence is likely to mean penalty kill time for Colby Armstrong.
Todd White, who missed practice on Thursday, is good to go tonight.
John Anderson liked the play of Erik Christensen and Chris Thorburn the other night. It will be interesting to see whether he puts Eric Boulton with them and moves Eric Perrin to another line.
