Though it has been a tough year (to say the least) for the Atlanta Thrashers, they got some good news today when they learned that Ilya Kovalchuk would represent them at the 2009 NHL All-Star Game to be played in Montreal on January 25. Ilya previously played in the 2004 All-Star Game as well as last year's game. Congratulations to PuckAgency client Ilya Kovalchuk! Kovy and the Thrashers face off against the New Jersey Devils tonight at the Prudential Center.
