The Thrashers released goaltender Manny Legace and forward Dan Fritsche on Monday, cutting the training camp roster to 25 players. Legace and Fritsche were both in camp on pro tryouts.
The release of Legace leaves the Thrashers with three goaltenders – Johan Hedberg, Ondrej Pavelec and Kari Lehtonen, who is several weeks away from returning from offseason back surgery.
The Thrashers still must trim their roster by two players before Wednesday’s 3 p.m. NHL deadline for opening day rosters.
Players were off on Monday and the team holds its annual golf tournament Tuesday. The event is a fundraiser for the Atlanta Thrashers Foundation and last year raised more than $100,000. The annual Face Off event for season ticket holders will be Thursday.
The Thrashers open the regular season Saturday at home against the Lightning.
