No, not because Bouwmeester has been traded. Although, you never know.
Apparently, however, Jassen Cullimore's wife is expecting, and should Cullimore need to head home prior to game-time, Ellerby will be in Atlanta just in case.
Ellerby was a first round pick of the Florida Panthers in 2007, taken tenth overall. He got off to a rough start in the AHL and struggled to adjust from junior hockey, but he's steadily improved all season and has become a solid defender with Rochester. At 6'4", 190, he's still a lanky kid, but in the WHL, Ellerby was a physical defenseman and he's got the frame to carry that to the NHL.
While scoreless on the year in Rochester, Keaton has fifteen assists.

It'll be very interesting to see how Ellerby responds if he gets a chance to see some ice time tonight.
The Thrashers, though playing relatively well of late, are a perfect team against whom Ellerby could get his NHL feet wet.
Once this season is over, I'm looking forward to seeing Ellerby and Garrison work themselves into NHL defensemen in the off season. I think the blue line of the Panthers is going to look very good in the near future.
By the way, this is an EXCELLENT blog!
