Player Notes

March 21, 2008
Erik Christensen won't skate for the next 7-10 days because of a sprained MCL and will likely miss the rest of the season. "I think with the way our season is coming here, he's probably not going to play the rest of the year," coach Don Waddell said in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. "I think what's important is he's seen the opportunity here." It's safe to go ahead and cut Christensen loose.

March 20, 2008
Erik Christensen, acquired in the Marian Hossa trade, was examined by team doctors on Wednesday and it was determined he will be held out of on ice activities for at least 10 days. Christensen sprained his MCL against Florida and the prognosis for his return before the season ends isn't good. The center had recorded 24 points in 59 games this season.

February 26, 2008
Erik Christensen is now an Atlanta Thrasher after being involved in a deal that landed Hossa in Pittsburgh. Christensen's specialty is on the shootout, and that's about the only area he'll be of much use to Atlanta.

February 21, 2008
Erik Christensen, who will miss his fourth straight game Thursday at Montreal, returned to practice wearing a yellow, non-contact jersey Wednesday, notes the Post-Gazette. "It's nice being back out there," said Christensen, who traveled with the club to Montreal. "I've missed the guys a bit. Rehabbing is not a whole lot of fun." Christensen will attempt to play through a right shoulder injury that isn't expected to be 100 percent until it receives the needed rest during the offseason.

February 17, 2008
Erik Christensen did not practice on Saturday due to a right shoulder injury. He won't play on Sunday and isn't likely to suit up on Tuesday, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports. The ailment is not serious.

January 10, 2008
Erik Christensen sat out Thursday's game due to flu-like symptoms. He's still a fringe fantasy prospect, with 13 points over 37 games.
