     Ondrej Pavelec has stepped up big time in the wake of Kari Lehtonen&#39;s never-ending injuries. Lehtonen&#39;s return may still keep him out with a bruised ego.

	<description>&lt;p&gt; Thrashers Middle of the Pack in Man Games&amp;nbsp;Lost 
 James Mirtle totals up the NHL injury carnage so far this season. Of course one game missed by Ilya Kovalchuk is like 1,000 games missed by Jim Slater. Also doesn&#39;t include Kari Lehtonen&#39;s Damian Rhodes impression.
