Crosby, Hossa are featued stars in Penguins-Thrashers matchup

Dec 27, 2006 - 3:41 PM Atlanta (22-10-6) at Pittsburgh (15-14-6) 7:30 pm EST

PITTSBURGH (Ticker) -- Sidney Crosby and Marian Hossa could find themselves marked men.

Crosby tries to add to his league-best 55 points and lead the Pittsburgh Penguins to the end of a four-game losing streak Wednesday when they face Hossa and the Atlanta Thrashers.

Playing in just his second season, Crosby tops the NHL with 38 assists and has a four-point lead over New York Rangers superstar Jaromir Jagr in the race for the Art Ross Trophy.

However, the Penguins failed to score on 26 shots against netminder Martin Brodeur in Tuesday's 3-0 loss to the New Jersey Devils.

The Southeast Division leader by six points over the Carolina Hurricanes, Atlanta has shown a knack for dramatic wins during a four-game winning streak that includes two shootout triumphs.

Jim Slater scored with eight seconds remaining and Hossa collected his 25th assist for the Thrashers in Tuesday's 2-1 victory over the Tampa Bay Lightning.

Hossa and Vyacheslav Kozlov netted shootout tallies against Pittsburgh in Atlanta's 4-3 triumph on Thursday.
