Ilya Kovalchuk has just taken the practice ice for the Thrashers. The captain, who suffered a broken bone in his foot less than three weeks ago, is dressed and skating... He was expected to miss four to six weeks after the injury.

Captain-superstar or not, I can’t imagine the trainers/coach/organization risking an injury aggravation for him to return a couple days early. The guy just heals fast… or everyone involved is inept. Which even in Atlanta is unlikely.
From Vivlamore
“Anderson said Kovy was a little sore after skating the past two days. Called him a "game-time decision" for Thursday against the Rangers. I asked if he was still 95 percent sure he would play. Anderson said, ‘Maybe 90 percent now.’”
Except that 90% is now 0% – Kovy won’t play Thursday.

I just read the flight got delayed and then he decided to join the team. Apparently, he’s back to being a game time decision.

John Anderson is toying with our hearts.

Kevin Allen with some (Not Really) News:
Latest Thrashers’ update: Kovalchuk is definitely going to try to play against the NY Rangers.
(emphasis mine)
Being a Thrashers fan - it's kind of like being punk rock in a hick town.
