Player Notes

June 19, 2008
Kari Lehtonen is confident he will re-sign with the Thrashers, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. He said, "This is where I want to play. It feels like home."

April 5, 2008
Kari Lehtonen ended the 2007-08 season on a high note by stopping 30 of the 31 shots that were fired his direction by the Lightning on Saturday night. Lehtonen finishes the year 17-22-5, and while his GAA approached three, his save percentage of .915 is a better representation of his talent level. If the team can just play some defense in front of him Lehtonen could possibly sneak his way into the top-12 of goaltenders next season.

March 31, 2008
Kari Lehtonen pitched a shutout on Monday as he stopped all 36 shots that the Lightning threw at him to pick up his 16th victory of the season. Lehtonen still ranks as one of the better young goalies in the league, but unless he gets some more help from his teammates he will remain a second class citizen at the goalie position because of a poor GAA (3.02) despite a solid SV% (.913).
