Reasoner might be back Wednesday
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Marty Reasoner was feeling bad enough over the weekend that he got some intravenous fluids but told me today he is starting to feel better. Still, coach John Anderson said, Reasoner won’t be traveling with the team for Tuesday night’s game at Tampa Bay. Part of the reason is that the Thrashers have a game here Wednesday night, and there’s no reason to push things Tuesday and ruin the chance for Reasoner to play on Wednesday against Chicago.
Reasoner might have another reason to miss Wednesday’s game, though. His wife is scheduled to deliver their baby on Wednesday.
Reasoner didn’t practice on Monday. Also out: Ilya Kovalchuk, who was accompanying his wife and their new baby son home from the hospital, and Mathieu Schneider, who at 39 gets a day off whenever he feels the need. Colby Armstrong left practice early to get treatment for an injury. All three are expected to play Tuesday night.
Reasoner fills a lot of key roles for the Thrashers. With him out on Sunday, Rich Peverley played 2:11 on the penalty kill, Todd White 2:07 and Chris Thorburn played 1:04.
