Thrashers aim to increase Southeast Division lead

Mar 16, 2007 - 3:47 PM NY Rangers (34-28-8) at Atlanta (37-25-10) 7:30 pm EDT

ATLANTA (Ticker) -- The first-place Atlanta Thrashers look to bounce back from an embarrassing loss when they face the New York Rangers on Friday.

Atlanta holds a two-point lead over Tampa Bay (29-28-4) in the Southeast Division. It had a opportunity to increase its lead but lost, 3-2, to Philadelphia on Thursday.

Keith Tkachuk had a goal and an assist and Eric Belanger scored for the Thrashers, who have won six of their last eight contests. Tkachuk has played well since being acquired from St. Louis at the February 27 trade deadline, recording five goals and two assists in eight games.

The Rangers are tied with Montreal (35-30-6) for ninth place in the East, one point behind Toronto (34-27-9).

New York squandered a two-goal lead in a 3-2 loss to Ottawa on Tuesday. Michael Nylander scored both goals while Henrik Lundqvist made 30 saves.

Jaromir Jagr assisted on both of Nylander's goals and leads the Rangers with 57 assists and 81 points. Jagr has four points in three games against the Thrashers this season.
