Thrashers hope to have Tkachuk for Monday's game

Feb 26, 2007 - 3:16 PM Atlanta (31-23-10) at Boston (30-27-4) 7:00 pm EST

BOSTON (Ticker) -- The Atlanta Thrashers would like to unveil their newest star on Monday.

The slumping Thrashers hope to have newly acquired left wing Keith Tkachuk in the lineup when they visit the Boston Bruins.

Atlanta has dropped six of its last seven games and is clinging to the sixth playoff spot in the Eastern Conference.

But the Thrashers showed they were serious about reaching the playoffs for the first time in their seven-year history, acquiring Tkachuk from the St. Louis Blues on Sunday, a day after obtaining defenseman Alexei Zhitnik from Philadelphia.

Tkachuk, who turns 35 on March 28, has registered 20 goals and 23 assists in 61 games this season.

A four-time All-Star and two-time Olympian, Tkachuk was born in nearby Melrose and attended Boston University for one year.

Boston looks to rebound from Saturday's 7-2 loss to the Florida Panthers. Former Thrasher Marc Savard tallied for the Bruins, who had their four-game winning streak snapped.

The Thrashers have won both meetings between the teams this season, including a 5-3 triumph in Atlanta on November 6.
