News: Ondrej Pavelec faced a ton of shots again on Sunday, but he was solid in another losing effort for the Thrashers. Pavelec stopped 36 of the 40 shots he faced in the overtime defeat. [+]
Impact: Pavelec has now faced 82 shots in his last two starts, and he took both games into overtime before falling. Allowing four goals isn't good for fantasy owners, but Pavelec has proven that he is capable of handling the load for this team, especially if they start playing defense in front of him.

News: Thrashers' defenseman Tobias Enstrom scored a goal and added an assist on Sunday, but Atlanta fell to the Lightning 4-3 in overtime. Enstrom has 16 points in 20 games this season. [+]
Impact: Enstrom is a decent scorer from the blue line, and he is worth a fantasy roster spot in all leagues. He only has three goals this season, but he will do a vast majority of his damage in the assist category, as he has 13 already. ( Fanball - Sun. Nov 22, 2009) |
News: Kozlov notched a goal and an assist in an overtime loss to the Lightning on Sunday. [+]
Impact: The goal was just Kozlov's second of the season. He's been a streaky player in recent seasons, so hopefully Sunday's performance is a sign of things to come. ( RotoWire - Nov 22, 2009) | |

News: According to the Miami Herald, center Gregory Campbell missed Saturday's contest due to a litany of injuries. [+]
Impact: Coach Peter DeBoer stated that Campbell has "a bunch of little things going on", so it doesn't sound too serious. He's recorded just three assists on the season though, so he won't be missed on fantasy rosters if he is out for any additional games. ( Fanball - Sun. Nov 22, 2009) |
