Thrashers Recall Lehtonen

I saw this article on AJC this morning and am surprised no one else has mentioned it yet. Not exactly great numbers or results for his conditioning stint.

----------------------------------------------

Thrashers goaltender Kari Lehtonen was recalled from his conditioning assignment at AHL Chicago on Sunday.

Lehtonen appeared in four games for Chicago during his two-week stint. He went 1-2-2. In his final game on Friday, he lost in a shootout after stopping
17-of-19 shots in regulation and 6-of-9 in the shootout.

Lehtonen, recovering from two off-season back surgeries, allowed 11 goals on 109 shots for a .899 save percentage and a 2.67 goals-against average.

I'd be surprised if he plays more than one game before the break. I could see him not playing any games at all for us. Trading him is going to be tough.

Sounds like he is either being traded or he got injured AGAIN.; ▶ Reply to This
