Thrashers look to end losing streak, visit Canadiens

Jan 9, 2007 - 3:53 PM Atlanta (24-12-8) at Montreal (23-14-5) 7:30 pm EST

MONTREAL (Ticker) -- After dropping a heartbreaking decision to a division rival, Ilya Kovalchuk and the Atlanta Thrashers hope to bounce back against another Eastern Conference foe.

The Thrashers look to snap their three-game skid Tuesday when they visit the Montreal Canadiens.

The Southeast Division leader, Atlanta squandered a late lead in Saturday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Washington Capitals.

Kovalchuk scored his 23rd goal in the contest for the Thrashers, who have dropped back-to-back overtime decisions and have lost four of their last five games overall, tallying a total of just 11 times over that span.

The Canadiens, who also have lost three straight contests, dropped a 3-0 decision to the New Jersey Devils on Sunday to suffer their first shutout defeat of the campaign.

The Canadiens defeated the Thrashers, 3-1, in their only meeting on December 18.
