PLAYER NEWS

Thrashers Ondrej Pavelec (ATL - G) 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. (Fanball - Sun. Nov 22, 2009) Tobias Enstrom (ATL - D) 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) Vyacheslav Kozlov (ATL - Left Wing) 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)

Canadiens Georges Laraque (MTL - RW) News: According to the Montreal Gazette, Georges Laraque will have a hearing with NHL disciplinarian Colin Campbell regarding his hit on Niklas Kronwall. [+] Impact: Laraque nailed Kronwall in Saturday's game with a knee-on-knee collision, and the Red Wing defenseman will be lost for a month as a result. Laraque will likely be suspended for the vicious and dangerous hit. (Fanball - Sun. Nov 22, 2009) Georges Laraque (MTL - Right Wing) News: Laraque will have a hearing with NHL disciplinarian Colin Campbell on Monday to discuss his knee-on-knee hit with Niklas Kronwall, Habs Insideout reports. [+] Impact: Laraque will most likely miss some time due to a suspension. Red Wings coach Mike Babcock and general manager Ken Holland were very upset with the hit after Saturday's game, while Kronwall is expected to miss between four and eight weeks with a sprained MCL. You may want to avoid Laraque until more is known about his suspension. If your lineup is in need of some penalty minutes see if Daniel Carcillo or Chris Neil is still available. (RotoWire - Nov 22, 2009) Scott Gomez (MTL - Center) News: The Canadiens lost Gomez to a lower-body injury in Friday's victory over Washington. [+] Impact: There is no timetable for Gomez's return. (STATS - Sun. Nov 22, 2009)
