For all eight teams with Evgeni Malkin, relief may come sooner rather than later. Malkin has been skating with his teammates of late and should be starting full-contact drills in the next little while. This should suggest that he is ahead of schedule and possibly will be re-evaluated before the two weeks they suggested earlier.
Atlanta Thrashers' 2003 1st round draft pick, Braydon Coburn must be close to recovering from his shoulder injury as the Thrashers have sent him down to their minor league team in Chicago today. Coburn, a blue-chip prospect, was taken a few times in hopes that he'll benefit from the offensive talent that Atlanta has to offer. Not a bad bet, if you ask me. In other Thrasher news, Greg de Vries left in the third period last night after taking a puck to the face. He did not return, as the Thrashers were up two goals at the time. There is nothing to suggest he'll miss any time, but he'll be re-evaluated today to be sure.
Flames Pay-Per-View will have tonight's clash between Calgary and Ottawa tonight. The Senators will start Ray Emery against the Flames tonight, while Alex Tanguay will more than likely start down on the second line. The four teams with Kristian Huselius will rejoice when they see their winger up on the top line again with Jarome Iginla, in hopes that rekindles the offensive fire. Dany Heatley will look to score his first goal of the season against his hometown Flames and Wade Redden will try for his first point of the season on the blueline.
