According to Atlanta General Manager Don Waddell, Thrashers star Ilya Kovalchuk will not play on Thursday night against the New York Rangers. "He's not going to play tomorrow, but hopefully for Friday," Waddell said at the NHL General Manager Meetings.
After Thursday's game against the Rangers, Thrashers hosts the Los Angeles Kings on Friday. Kovalchuk has been practicing for the past few days, but left Wednesday's practice early. He was expected to miss several weeks after suffering a broken foot on Oct. 24, but has recovered faster than ever expected. Kovalchuk had 9 goals in eight games before the injury and he still leads the Thrashers in goals except for missing the past six games. It is good to hear that he will come back to the ice in his thrashers jersey soon.
