"Nik Antropov will likely miss Thursday's game against Boston and Evander Kane's availability could come down to a game-time decision, according to Thrashers coach Craig Ramsay. Both forwards are battling recent injuries.

Antropov missed the past two games after suffering an unspecified injury crashing into the net in a game at Toronto on Dec. 20. He played the following game, but missed last week's game at Boston and did not travel with the team to Pittsburgh for Tuesday's game. Antropov took part in the first 18 minutes of the team's practice Wednesday.

Kane was hurt in Pittsburgh after being checked by the Penguins' Aaron Asham early in the third period. He left the game, in which he scored his 12th goal, and did not return. Kane, who suffered a "mid-body" injury, according to Ramsay, made it through just six minutes of Wednesday's practice.

"He could bounce back," Ramsay said."
