Back in next game

Maybe I should have publicly said how worried I was earlier, because Mathieu is slated to return tomorrow, so reports the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Also slated to return is goalie Kari Lehtonen. About the number one goalie returning, Mathieu says:

"Kari brings a certain stability in there. He’s very consistent with what he brings night in and night out, especially when he’s healthy. The most important key to winning in the NHL these days is goaltending. When you look around the league, the top teams, their goalies won games for them night in and night out.... He’s as solid a goalie as you’ll see in the league."

Well, Atlanta could use all the help they can get.
