Newly acquired Carter hopes to join Hurricanes vs. Thrashers

Feb 24, 2007 - 4:58 PM Carolina (31-25-7) at Atlanta (31-22-10) 7:00 pm EST

ATLANTA (Ticker) -- The Carolina Hurricanes picked up some help in their attempt at a Stanley Cup repeat.

One day after acquiring right wing Anson Carter, the Hurricanes visit the Atlanta Thrashers on Saturday.

Fighting for a playoff spot, Stanley Cup champion Carolina acquired Carter from the Columbus Blue Jackets for a fifth-round pick in 2008. The deal came four days before next Tuesday's trade deadline.

Carter, 32, is joining the eighth team of his career, which started in 1996-97 with Washington. He has 10 goals this season after tallying a career-best 33 last season for Vancouver.

Carolina currently is in eighth place in the Eastern Conference - one point behind Montreal and one ahead of the New York Islanders.

The Hurricanes have alternated wins and losses in their last seven games, including a 3-2 overtime victory over Philadelphia. Glen Wesley scored a shorthanded goal 16 seconds into the extra session.

The Thrashers were defeated, 5-4, in overtime against Tampa Bay on Thursday. With the loss, Atlanta dropped one point behind the Lightning in the Southeast Division.

Atlanta is just 1-3-1 against Carolina this season.
