Thrashers place G Lehtonen on injured reserve
Published: Friday, November 21, 2008

The Atlanta Thrashers on Friday placed goaltender Kari Lehtonen on injured reserve, retroactive to October 31. Lehtonen has been out of action since a 3-2 loss to the New York Rangers on October 30, first because of illness, and then because of back stiffness.

In a corresponding move, the Thrashers recalled right wing Joey Crabb from Chicago of the American Hockey League. Crabb, 25, has tallied five goals and five assists in 16 games for Chicago this season.
