Atlanta, GA (My Sportsbook) - Atlanta Thrashers forward Ilya Kovalchuk returned to the lineup for Tuesday's 3-2 loss against the Philadelphia Flyers. Kovalchuk had missed Atlanta's last two games with a right knee injury, suffered during his club's 4-1 win over Pittsburgh last Wednesday after a knee-to-knee collision with Pens forward Jarkko Ruutu. The 24-year-old Russian notched his 39th goal of the season in the second period.
