Canadiens look to get back on track vs. Thrashers

Mar 8, 2007 - 4:19 PM Montreal (33-29-6) at Atlanta (35-23-10) 7:00 pm EST

ATLANTA (Ticker) -- The Montreal Canadiens are heading in the wrong direction.

Looking to remain in the playoff race, the Canadiens hope to spark a turnaround when they visit the Atlanta Thrashers on Thursday.

On February 5, Montreal was fourth in the Eastern Conference with 64 points. However, it has gone in the opposite direction since, posting a 4-10-0 mark in its last 14 contests.

It has been a costly slide for the Canadiens, who now are in 10th place - one point behind Toronto and Carolina for the conference's eighth and final playoff spot.

After a six-game skid from February 6-17, Montreal has continued to sink and is currently on a three-game losing streak - including a 3-1 loss to Boston on Saturday.

The Canadiens hope to right the ship when they face the Thrashers, who have lost the first three meetings between the teams this season.
