Penguins go for second win of month in Atlanta

Dec 21, 2006 - 3:21 PM Pittsburgh (15-13-5) at Atlanta (19-10-6) 7:00 pm EST

ATLANTA (Ticker) -- The Pittsburgh Penguins last winning streak started here in Atlanta. They try to end their two-game skid this time around.

The Penguins face the Thrashers for the second time in less than two weeks Thursday.

Pittsburgh started an overall four-game run here December 9 prior to dropping its last two games. The Penguins endured a 4-1 loss to St. Louis on Tuesday. Rookie Evgeni Malkin scored the lone Pittsburgh goal.

Joceyln Thibault came on in the second period and had 13 saves for the Penguins, who went 1-for-8 on the power play.

The Thrashers pulled out a 4-3 shootout victory over the New Jersey Devils on Tuesday, snapping a five-game slide. Marian Hossa, who netted two shorthanded goals, scored the game winner in the bonus session.

Jon Sim tallied and Kari Lehtonen denied 31 shots for Atlanta, which came away empty on all three man-advantage opportunities.
