Thrashers eye fifth straight victory

Dec 26, 2007 - 1:33 PM Atlanta (18-17-1) at Columbus (15-14-6) 7:00 pm EST

COLUMBUS, Ohio (Ticker) - The Atlanta Thrashers roller coaster season is on an upswing again.

The team seeks its fifth consecutive win on Wednesday when it visits the Columbus Blue Jackets.

Atlanta opened the season with six straight losses, but has rebounded to climb above the .500 mark.

The Thrashers won their fourth consecutive game for the second time this season when they defeated St. Louis, 3-2, in overtime on Sunday. Marian Hossa netted the game-winner just 19 seconds into the extra session as the Thrashers won for the fourth time in six days.

The Blue Jackets suffered a 3-1 loss on Sunday to the Nashville Predators. It was Nashville's 11th consecutive victory over Columbus, which went 0-for-4 on the power play. The Blue Jackets are 5-for-56 with the man advantage in their last 13 games.

Columbus has just four goals in its last four games.

"We're not generating enough (offense) to give ourselves a chance to win," Columbus coach Ken Hitchcock said.

Wednesday's game will be the only meeting of the season between the teams, which didn't play each other last season.
