Game 31- Penguins @ Atlanta Thrashers

The Penguins will play for the first time in five days Thursday night when they take on the Atlanta Thrashers at Phillips Arena in Georgia. This is the second game of the year between the two teams; the Pens won 3-2 in the first meeting.

The biggest storyline of this game is the return of netminder Marc-Andre Fleury after over a month on the shelf with a suspected groin injury. This will need to give the boys a boost, as they've been lacking energy the last few games.

Jeff Taffe was again promoted to the Pens, this time along with Ryan Stone today. This means that Mike Zigomanis and Max Talbot will not be playing.
