Thrashers Team Report (Yahoo! Sports)
You know things are bad when the highlight of a game is an opposing player reaching a significant NHL milestone and getting a standing ovation from the home team's crowd.
Keith Tkachuk's 1,000th career NHL point Sunday was the lone highlight of a completely forgettable game for the Thrashers.
Tkachuk, who scored his milestone goal while lying on his back in front of the Atlanta net, exemplifies everything the Thrashers don't possess: a willingness to sacrifice his body, a passion for the game and a strong belief in his abilities.
The Thrashers could learn a lot from their former teammate. Instead, several Atlanta players could be seen congratulating Tkachuk after the goal. |
Boyes goal gives Blues win (AP)
The St. Louis Blues celebrated Keith Tkachuk's milestone goal, then went on to win a rare road game. Tkachuk tied it then Brad Boyes put St. Louis ahead midway through the third period and St. Louis Blues beat the Atlanta Thrashers 4-2 Sunday. The Thrashers lost for the sixth time in seven games and the Blues ended a two-game losing streak and are 4-8 away from home. |
Suter's OT goal lifts Predators (AP)
Ryan Suter made sure the Nashville Predators left Atlanta with two points -- for a change. The defenseman knocked down a lead pass from Shea Weber and beat Johan Hedberg on a breakaway 1:44 into overtime to give the Predators a 4-3 victory over the Atlanta Thrashers on Friday night. "It was a smart play," Nashville coach Barry Trotz said.

Washington ends 3-game losing skid, tops Atlanta (AP)
Missing seven injured players? No problem. Not with Alex Ovechkin in the lineup Wednesday night. Ovechkin had his sixth career hat trick and added an assist to help the Capitals end a three-game losing streak with a 5-3 victory over the Thrashers. "It was a great start for us, especially the hat trick and then the winning," Ovechkin said. |
White scores 2 in Thrashers' 6-3 win over Leafs (AP)
The Atlanta Thrashers handed the slumping Toronto Maple Leafs a lopsided loss. If Brian Burke takes over as general manager, as expected in the coming days, he surely won't stand for such poor performances. The latest dud from the Maple Leafs came Tuesday night with a 6-3 home loss to the Thrashers. Atlanta (8-10-2) entered with the worst record in the Eastern Conference, but rode inspired play by...

Nash has goal, assist in Columbus' 2-0 win (AP)
Steve Mason always wondered how it would feel to earn his first NHL shutout. After Columbus' rookie goalie did it with a 15-save effort, the whole experience felt a bit strange. "Overall, it was a pretty simple game, and the only hard part was staying focused," Mason said. "You try not to think about it, but obviously during the third period, it's on your mind when there are no goals up on the...

Sykora scores winner for Pittsburgh (AP)
It's too early in the season for coach Michel Therrien to worry about the slow progress of Pittsburgh's power play on the road. The Penguins have been among the NHL's best in scoring on the power play at home, but maybe two goals in Atlanta will get the unit producing away from Mellon Arena. "Every game is a close game, and that's the way the game is supposed to be played," Therrien said.
