Kari Lehtonen

Lehtonen continues his recovery from a groin injury and the Thrashers hope that he can get back on the ice and begin practicing sometime next week, reports the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. If that holds true, we'd assume it would be another couple of weeks before he's back so a best case scenario right now is probably the beginning of December. Ondrej Pavelec and Johan Hedberg will continue to see playing time in Lehtonen's absence though it's unknown how the games will be split up.
