Lightning right wing Marty St. Louis did not travel with the team this morning to Atlanta due to an apparently serious stomach illness, and coach Guy Boucher said he's unsure if the veteran will play against the Thrashers.

The team practiced without the assistant captain during a morning skate at Philips Arena, though, word is that St. Louis is on a commercial flight now to Atlanta which is due to arrive around 2 p.m. Boucher said if he does play, he's unsure how much energy he'll have, which is why the Lightning is going with 12 forwards and six defensemen tonight.

St. Louis has played in a franchise-record 425 consecutive games, the fourth longest active streak in the NHL, so it will take a lot to keep him out of a game. Boucher didn't know how sick St. Louis was until he got a call this morning on the way to make the team's 8:30 a.m. charter flight.

"I got (the call) coming to the airport," Boucher said. "'How you doing coach? Good, and you?' 'Well, you might not feel so good after this.' Obviously it's Marty, so we need him."

*The good news is Boucher said C Mattias Ritola is good to go for tonight. G Dan Ellis will be in net.
