The Thrashers signed two more players on Tuesday — two of their own.
Defenseman Nathan Oystrick and forward Joey Crabb both re-signed with the club. Terms were not disclosed. Both played for the Thrashers last season but became unrestricted free agents on July 1.
As a rookie last season, Oystrick, 26, appeared in 53 games and registered 12 points (four goals, eight assists). He has played 162 career games for the Thrashers' AHL affiliate in Chicago. The 6-foot, 210-pound Oystrick was a member of the Wolves' 2008 Calder Cup title team. He was originally drafted by the Thrashers in the seventh round (No. 198 overall) in 2002.
Crabb, 26, played 29 games in Atlanta last season with nine points (four goals, five assists). He also played in 42 games for Chicago with 29 points (15 goals, 14 assists). The 6-1, 195-pound right wing was also a member of Chicago's Calder Cup team last season. He was originally drafted by the New York Rangers in the seventh round (No. 226 overall) in 2002 and signed with the Thrashers as a free agent in 2006.
