Atlanta, GA (Sports Network) - The Atlanta Thrashers recalled veteran defenseman Chris Chelios on Wednesday, marking the 26th consecutive NHL season in which the 48-year-old will participate.

Chelios has spent the entire season with the AHL's Chicago Wolves, playing 46 games and recording a plus-34 rating, which is third in the league, while posting five goals and 17 assists.

He last appeared in the NHL in 2008-09, when he played 28 games for the Detroit Red Wings. A three-time Norris Trophy winner as the NHL's top defenseman, Chelios has skated in a league-record 266 playoff games in a career that started in 1983-84 with Montreal.

He has collected three Stanley Cup titles -- one with the Habs in 1986 and two with the Red Wings in 2002 and 2008. Internationally, he has played for USA Hockey four times in the Olympics (1984, 1998, 2002, 2006), earning a silver medal in 2002.

In addition to his tenure with the Canadiens and Red Wings, Chelios, a Chicago native, spent parts of nine seasons with the Blackhawks. In all, the 11-time All Star played for the Habs from 1983-90, the Blackhawks from 1990-99 and the Red Wings from 1999-2009.
