Devils aim to start new streak; Thrashers try to end theirs
Jan 12, 2007 - 2:17 PM Atlanta (24-13-8) at New Jersey (25-14-4) 7:30 pm ESTEAST RUTHERFORD, New Jersey (Ticker) - The New Jersey Devils try to start a new winning streak against the suddenly struggling Atlanta Thrashers on Friday.
The Devils had won three straight games before falling to the lowly St. Louis Blues, 3-2, on Wednesday. John Madden and Brian Gionta scored the goals for the Devils.
New Jersey again has been stingy defensively this season, as they have yielded a league-low 99 goals.
Devils goaltender Martin Brodeur leads the NHL in wins (25), shutouts (7) and save percentage (.926) and is second in goals-against average (2.09).
The Thrashers are 0-2-2 in their last four games, including a 4-2 home loss to the Montreal Canadiens on Tuesday. Greg de Vries and Brad Larsen scored for the Thrashers, who were 0-for-6 on the power play.
Despite not recording a point in the loss, Marian Hossa is having an excellent season for the Thrashers. He ranks third in the league in goals (26) and points (58).
