RALEIGH, North Carolina (Ticker) -- The defending champion Carolina Hurricanes have owned the Atlanta Thrashers this season.

The Hurricanes aim to continue their success against the Thrashers when the Southeast Division rivals face off on Saturday.

The Hurricanes have outscored Atlanta, 14-9, in winning all three meetings. However despite their success, the Hurricanes remain four points behind the division-leading Thrashers.

In its last game on Thursday, Carolina picked up one of its most impressive victories of the season, tallying six third-period goals in a 6-4 victory over Florida. The Hurricanes overcame a three-goal deficit in the final session to record their third consecutive win.

Despite holding a 2-15-4 record when trailing at the beginning of the final period, Carolina leads the NHL with 60 third-period tallies.

The Thrashers are on a six-game losing streak and have been outscored, 19-10 in that span.

After going 0-8-1 in prior matchups, the Thrashers have won four of their last nine games against Carolina.
