This doesn't include Jason Ward and Shane O'Brien who were acquired at last year's trade deadline and rookies Matt Smaby and Mike Lundin.

Welcome Back...The Lightning welcome back two familiar faces to the roster this season ... Brad Lukowich returns to the Bolts' blueline after spending the previous two seasons with the New York Islanders and New Jersey ... He won his second Stanley Cup with the Lightning in 2004 ...

What A Start!Rookie Bryan Little scored his first-career goal on Friday night against Washington, becoming the first Thrashers to tally a goal in his NHL debut … Ilya Kovalchuk scored his first goal in his second career game, while former Thrasher Patrik Stefan recorded a goal in his third game.

Young GunLittle is the third youngest Thrasher to score a goal at 19 years and 327 days old … On Oct. 6, 2001 (at Boston), Ilya Kovalchuk became the youngest Thrasher to score when he tallied his first NHL goal at 18 years and 174 days old … Patrik Stefan scored his first career goal on Oct. 9, 1999 vs. Buffalo; he was 19 years and 23 days

old.

Jam PackedThe Thrashers drew 18,707 fans to their season opener on Friday night against Washington … It was the second biggest crowd for a home opener in franchise history behind the 18,759 that attended the Thrashers first home game in 2005-06 against the Capitals … It also marked the fifth sold out home opener in team history.

Give Him the “C”On Tuesday the Thrashers named Bobby Holik as the sixth team captain in franchise history … It was also announced that Niclas Havelid, Marian Hossa, Ilya Kovalchuk and Slava Kozlov would serve as assistant captains on an alternating basis … The five players have combined for 3,618 games and 52 seasons of NHL experience, 340 games of NHL playoff experience and four Stanley Cup Championships.

Approaching a MilestoneSlava Kozlov enters tonight’s game having played in 964 career games, just 36 shy of 1,000 … Coming into the 2007-08 season only 35 players in NHL history have played in 1,000 games.

Youth MovementThe Thrashers entered the 2007-08 regular season with four rookies on their roster; forwards Bryan Little and Brett Sterling and defensemen Tobias Enstrom and Mark Popovic … It marks the second highest number of rookies on an opening night roster in franchise history … Atlanta opened the season with seven rookies in 2001-02 … The Thrashers have had four rookies on their opening night roster on two other occasions; 2000-01 and 2005-06.

Caution: Kids at PlayRookies Bryan Little (two goals, two assists) and Brett Sterling (three goals, one assist) tied for the team lead with four points apiece during the preseason … Sterling scored two of his three goals on the power play and led the Thrashers with 17 shots … Little finished the preseason with one power play tally and needed only six shots on goal to record two goals.

Re-write the Record BooksAtlanta enters its eighth season coming off the heels of the most successful regular season in franchise history, culminating in a Southeast Division championship and the club’s first-ever Stanley Cup Playoff berth … The Thrashers earned a 43-28-11 record (97 points), finished third in the Eastern Conference and set many franchise records along the way, including most wins in a season, most points in a season and highest winning percentage in a season with .591.

Believe in BluelandThe Thrashers also enjoyed a great deal of success at Philips Arena during the 2006-07 season, posting a 23-12-6 record on home ice, just one win shy of the franchise record of 24 wins set during the 2005-06 campaign while tying the franchise high of 52 points, also set in 2005-06 … The team also posted a franchise-record seven-game home winning streak from March 2 – March 18, outscoring opponents 27-13 in that span.

Road WarriorsAtlanta earned a franchise-best 20-16-5 record (45 points) away from Philips Arena in 2006-07 … The team also enjoyed their first plus-.500 record on the road (.549) … The Thrashers road record against Eastern Conference opponents was 19-12-5 and they earned a 9-3-4 road record against the Southeast Division. The team began the season by earning a point in their first six road contest (4-0-2) and posted a four-game road point streak (4-0-1) from Nov. 22 – Dec. 5.

Behind the MaskGoaltender Kari Lehtonen enjoyed the best season of his young career in 2006-07, setting franchise and career highs in goaltender wins (34), games played (68), shutouts (4), saves (1,892) and save percentage (.912) … The 23-year old became the franchise’s all-time leader in wins (58) and shutouts (seven) and ranks third among Thrashers goaltenders in all-time games played (110).

Individual EffortsSeveral Thrashers enjoyed very successful individual seasons in 2006-07, ranking among the league leaders in several categories while setting franchise records and personal career highs …

*Marian Hossa tied for fifth in the NHL in goals (43), tied for seventh in the NHL points (100), tied for 12th in the

NHL in assists (57), tied for fourth in the NHL in power play goals (17), ranked seventh in the NHL in power play points (44) and ranked third in the NHL in shots (340) … Hossa set franchise records for points in a season, plus/minus rating in a season (+18) and set the team’s longest point-scoring streak (11 games) while hitting career-highs in games played (82), assists, points and power play goals … He became the first player in Thrashers history to reach the 100-point plateau.*Slava Kozlv led the NHL in shootout-deciding goals (5), tied for ninth in the NHL in power play assists (29) and tied for seventh in the NHL in game-winning tallies (8) … Kozlov set a new franchise record for game-winning

goals in a season a set career bests in assists (52), point (80) and game-winning goals.*Ilya Kovalchuk ranked eighth in the NHL in goals (42), ranked third in the NHL in power play goals (18) and ranked fifth in the NHL in shots (336).

Pack the HouseThe Thrashers attracted more than 665,000 fans to Philips Arena during the 2006-07 season, averaging 16,241 fans per game with 11 sellouts, the team’s best attendance since the Inaugural Season of 1999-2000.

Tampa Bay LightningHead Coach

John Tortorella

Notes: John Tortorella is entering his seventh full season as head coach of the Lightning after leading the team to four consecutive Stanley Cup Playoff appearances, it’s first Eastern Conference and Stanley Cup Championships and two Southeast Division Championships. Voted winner of the 2003-04 Jack Adams Award as the National Hockey League’s top coach after leading the Lightning to the Stanley Cup, Tortorella’s championship team established franchise records with 46 wins and 106 points before embarking on the successful playoff campaign.

Tortorella has been touted league-wide for his aggressive forechecking, puck pursuit schemes and a more open offensive system, one which injects high-energy and excitement into the game for fans and players alike. His 2006-07 team was tied for the second most points in a season and was tied for the best road record in franchise history. Their 243 goals were also the third best in Lightning history. He now has 208 regular season wins with the Lightning, ranking him as the franchise’s all-time leader.

Under Tortorellas’s guidance, the Lightning have qualified for the postseason four consecutive times for the first time in franchise history after winning the Stanley Cup in 2003-04. His 2006-07 team ranked second in club history in wins, while ranking first in road wins and road goals. Tortorella’s Lightning teams have been a vision of discipline as they have consistently ranked in the top 10 in the NHL in fewest penalty minutes.

A 15-year National Hockey League coaching veteran, Tortorella became the fourth head coach in team history when he was named to that position on January 6, 2001. Recognized as one of the top teaching coaches in the game, the Boston native joined the Lightning organization when he was hired on as an associate coach prior to the 2000-01 season. Now in charge of the Lightning for more than five full seasons, Tortorella immediately brought increased expectations and a new level of accountability to the Lightning locker room.
