Atlanta, Ga (WGR 550) -- Lindy Ruff decided since the team is on the road, he wants a guttier line-up so Adam Mair will stay in while Maxim Afinogenov stays out. Ruff also revealed that Max's play had started to tail off. He didn't like how he was overhandling the puck again and over staying shifts You'll hear more from Ruff on the subject tonight on the pregame show with Schopp and the Bulldog starting at 6.
Other scratches are Andrej Sekera, Nathan Paetsch, Andrew Peters, Matt Ellis and Patrick Lalime. The goaltender has a hip issue so Mikael Tellqvist backs up Ryan Miller.
Atlanta has won 9 of 12 games including three of four. It's 3-0 vs Buffalo. Captain Ilya Kovalchuk has four goals and five assists in the five games since coming back from injury. Former Sabre Slava Kozlov has 27 points in his last 23 games. Todd White, who's having a career year has 25 points in 20 games. Kari Lehtonen missed Atlanta's last game with an upper body ailment.
