Thrashers Recall Adam Berkhoel; Activate Shane Hnidy from IR

[VodkaFish]

The Atlanta Thrashers have recalled goaltender Adam Berkhoel from the Chicago Wolves of the American Hockey League and activated defenseman Shane Hnidy from Injured Reserve (shoulder), according to Executive Vice President and General Manager Don Waddell. The team’s active roster now stands at 22, with an additional three players on Injured Reserve.

Berkhoel, who made 24 saves in his NHL debut at the New York Rangers on Saturday, is 1-1-0 with a 2.53 goals-against average and a .939 save percentage in two games with Chicago. Berkhoel, who was acquired from the Blackhawks in a trade on June 27, 2004, played in one game for the Wolves and 24 games for Gwinnett of the ECHL last season. He was recalled by Atlanta on Oct. 13, and reassigned on Monday.

Hnidy, 29, has missed the last six games due to a shoulder injury he suffered in the pre-season finale against Nashville on Sept. 30. The 6-2, 205-pound defenseman has 22 points (four goals, 18 assists) and 353 penalty minutes in 198 career NHL games with Ottawa and Nashville.

I can admit why we allow so much goals, but we cant score as well. I hope Thrasher offense will finally find some chemistry. I hope this will happen soon...

Can't score if you can't shoot. 15 shots on goal last night. Thank you for the gift. Fruit basket coming your way courtesy of John Grahame. Don't expect anything from Tort.

I am starting to think Kovy has cursed us!! They have absolutely NO chemistry right now and are skating over each other, missing easy passes, and if Kovy takes one more one-timer on the PP I think I will punch the screen. Not only is he missing about half the time, every goalie in the league is knowing it is coming and are already in position before the puck even leaves the blade.

I am willing to bet that if they sat Kovy, we would start scoring again.

I was thinking the same thing. I was just afraid to say it loud
Where was Kovy last night and games before? And that move he made yesterday when we were four-on-four situation?
