The forward was given a game misconduct under NHL rule, which carries an automatic three-game suspension with it. The 30-year-old will forfeit $39,166.68 in salary, which will go to the Pla |

| (MySportsbook) - When the Atlanta Thrashers signed goaltender Byron Dafoe last month, hope was spawned in Dixie. Well, here we are more than three weeks after his debut, and the club holds the National Hockey League's worst record with 20 points and has, to put it simply, been the "same ol' Thrashers." Not enough offense and a Swiss cheese defense. Dafoe is 2-6-0 in eight starts since entering the fold, with a bloated 4.10 goals-against average and .857 save percentage. In his, and the team's defense, the clu |

Morrow didn't score a goal but he delivered several crushing body checks to help the Stars to a 3-1 victory over the Atlanta Thrashers. The 210-pounder separated center Marc Savard from the puck in the first period to set up a Bill Guerin goal, and later on he crunched defenseman Richard Smehlik in the open ice and sent the veteran blueliner to the hospital for X-rays.
