Kari Lehtonen (ATL)
News: Lehtonen (back) has officially been sent to Dallas in exchange for defenseman Ivan Vishnevskiy and a fourth-round draft pick, Chris Vivlamore of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports. [+]
Impact: Since the Thrashers haven't had any production from Lehtonen all season long, they're essentially getting Vishnevskiy for free. Atlanta now only has four players remaining from the 2006-07 team, which is the only playoff team in franchise history. ( RotoWire - Tue. Feb 9, 2010) |

Kari Lehtonen (ATL)
News: Lehtonen appears to be the next Thrasher who will be sent packing, as Atlanta is on the verge of a deal that will send Lehtonen to Dallas, Chris Vivlamore of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports. [+]
Impact: It's a deal that won't affect the Thrashers on the ice at all, since Lehtonen hasn't played in four months. Lehtonen could jump in and be the number one in Dallas as Marty Turco continues to struggle. You may want to snatch Lehtonen off of the waiver wire before the trade becomes official.

Boris Valabik (ATL)
News: Valabik has been diagnosed with a torn left ACL and was placed on injured reserve Tuesday, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports. [+]
Impact: Valabik has to wait for the swelling to go down before he can undergo surgery. Expect him to miss a couple months -- if not the rest of the season. ( RotoWire - Tue. Feb 9, 2010) | |

News: Parise snapped a four-game scoring drought with a tally in Monday's loss to Philadelphia. [+]
Impact: Parise's been a little quiet of late but he usually isn't too dormant too long. Space will open up for him on the power play with the addition of Ilya Kovalchuk and there are rumors the two of them may see time together at even strength despite playing the same position.

Patrik Elias (NJ - Center)
News: Elias registered an assist for the second-consecutive game, posting a helper in Monday's loss to the Flyers. [+]
Impact: Elias is an integral part to the team's attack and was denied by Michael Leighton on a legitimate scoring chance. Look for him to produce close to a point-per-game pace, as he'll be seeing plenty of ice time with Ilya Kovalchuk. ( RotoWire - Mon. Feb 8, 2010) |
News: Salmela said he had a headache, but was otherwise OK after being taken off the ice on a stretcher following a scary hit to the face from the Philadelphia Flyers' Jeff Carter on Monday night. [+]
Impact: Moments after scoring a short-handed goal that gave the Devils a 2-0 lead in the second period, Salmela was struck hard by Carter's right shoulder as he skated by. Salmela tumbled to the ice and remained face down for several minutes, until the Devils' medical staff lifted him onto a stretcher. The 25-year-old Salmela was playing in his second game with his new team. The goal was his first with the Devils and second this season. ( STATS - Mon. Feb 8, 2010) | |
