The Atlanta Thrashers have reassigned defenseman SCOTT LEHMAN (LAY-men) from the ECHL¹s Gwinnett Gladiators to the Chicago Wolves.

The 21-year-old blueliner appeared in three games with the Gladiators last week, notching an assist and 13 penalty minutes. Overall, he has registered two helpers and 18 penalty minutes in six outings with Gwinnett this season. LEHMAN has also racked up six penalty minutes in four games with the Wolves.

The Windsor, Ontario, native tallied 12 helpers and 14 points in 72 games with the Gladiators and was held scoreless in three games with the Wolves last season during his professional debut.

The Wolves (17-3-1-0) complete a season-high five-game home stand when they host the Syracuse Crunch at the Allstate Arena on Tuesday at 7 p.m. Chicago paces the American Hockey League with a .833 winning percentage and shares the league lead with 17 wins in 21 games this season.
