The Atlanta Thrashers have recalled goaltender ONDREJ PAVELEC (AWN-dray Pah-vah-lec), from the Chicago Wolves.
PAVELEC, who has not appeared in any games since being reassigned to Chicago on Monday, backstopped three games with Atlanta after being recalled on Nov. 2, posting a 2-0-0 record with a 2.57 goals-against average and .889 save percentage. Overall, he has registered a 5-3-0 record, 2.96 goals-against average and .902 save percentage in 10 career National Hockey League tilts over the last two seasons.
Prior to being recalled by the Thrashers, the 21-year-old netminder started nine straight games for Chicago (5-3-1), posting a 1.54 goals-against average and a .947 save percentage. He held opponents to two or fewer goals in seven of those nine outings, which includes two shutouts, and was honored with the American Hockey League's Goaltender of the Month honors for October.
The Kladno, Czech Republic, native, helped Chicago capture the 2008 Calder Cup Championship last year during his professional debut, and led AHL rookies and ranked second in the league with 33 regular-season victories, the second-highest single-season total in franchise history.
