Thrashers host Lightning in Southeast battle

Apr 7, 2007 - 4:34 PM Tampa Bay (44-33-4) at Atlanta (42-28-11) 7:00 pm EDT

ATLANTA (Ticker) -- What could have been a battle for the Southeast Division title, will instead be a matchup for playoff position.

Fresh of winning their first division title in their seven-year history, the Atlanta Thrashers host the Tampa Bay Bay Lightning in the regular-season finale for both teams. Atlanta secured the division title with Friday's win at Carolina, coupled with Tampa Bay's disappointing home loss to Florida.

While the Thrashers will be the third seed in the Eastern Conference playoffs, the Lightning could finish either sixth or seventh. They are currently seventh, two points behind the New York Rangers.

The Lightning hold a 5-2-0 advantage in the season series, including an 8-0 thrashing December 19 in which All-Star Vincent Lecavalier tallied a hat trick. The 26-year-old center is third in the league with 107 points.
