"Nik Antropov was a game-time decision but the forward was in the Thrashers lineup on Tuesday night against St. Louis.

Antropov crashed into the net in Monday night's game against Toronto. He missed several shifts, but finished the game.

Antropov and Niclas Bergfors, a healthy scratch in five of the previous six games, took part in the pre-game warm-up before a final decision was made by Thrashers coach Craig Ramsay.

With Antropov able to play, Ramsay went with the same lineup he's used in recent games. Ben Eager and Bergfors were the healthy forward scratches.

Despite Monday night's 6-3 victory over Toronto, Ramsay is concerned with the mental fatigue of his team. The Thrashers struggled for long stretches against the Maple Leafs. It's a symptom of playing nine games in 14 days,the coach said.

"I thought it was because we started pushing pucks into the middle of the ice," Ramsay said of the periods of poor play. "We did it on our forehand. We did it on our backhand. We found various ways to push the puck into the middle of the ice. Now it's turned over and away they go. That's something that we had gotten much, much better at.""
