ATLANTA – Quick blog this morning, but wanted to let you know the Thrashers opened the Traverse City Prospect Evaluation Tournament with a 1-0 victory over Tampa Bay on Saturday.
Paul Postma scored the game’s only goal in the first period, on assists from Matt Lyall and Spencer Machacek at 14:56. From there, Chris Carrozzi made it hold up, making 26 saves between the pipes to preserve the shutout.
Atlanta went 0-for-8 on the power play in a chippy contest that saw each team penalized eight times. First-round draft pick Zach Bogosian recorded one shot on goal for Atlanta.
The Thrashers continue play in the tournament today against the Rangers, and face the Red Wings on Tuesday.
