Final - 2OT
for this game
Without Kovalchuk, Thrashers host Sabres
Feb 1, 2008 - 2:02 PM Buffalo (23-21-6) at Atlanta (24-25-4) 7:30 pm ESTATLANTA (Ticker) - The Atlanta Thrashers will be without star Ilya Kovalchuk on Friday when they host the Buffalo Sabres.
Atlanta snapped a five-game losing streak with a 4-1 victory over Pittsburgh on Wednesday, but lost Kovalchuk to a knee injury in the second period.
Kovalchuk, who is second in the league with 38 goals, also is expected to miss Saturday's game against the Washington Capitals.
Without its leading scorer, Atlanta hopes avenge a 10-1 loss at Buffalo on January 18. The Sabres scored four goals in the first period and three each in the second and third as they stopped a 10-game losing streak. Drew Stafford and Derek Roy each recorded hat tricks in the thrashing.
After losing the first two games, Buffalo has won three straight on its seven-game road trip. The trek ends Tuesday at Boston.
