Naslund, Canucks look to end four-game skid

Feb 7, 2008 - 1:13 PM Vancouver (26-21-7) at Atlanta (26-26-4) 7:00 pm EST

ATLANTA (Ticker) - Locked in a tight Northwest Division battle, the Vancouver Canucks are slumping at the wrong time.

Captain Markus Naslund tries to get the Canucks back on track and end a four-game losing skid when they visit the Atlanta Thrashers on Thursday.

Naslund did almost everything he could Tuesday to end the slide, but it was not enough. The Swedish left wing scored two goals in regulation and tallied another in the shootout as Vancouver suffered a 3-2 setback to the Dallas Stars.

The 34-year-old Naslund has collected 19 goals and 43 points on the season.

The Thrashers had a three-game winning streak end Tuesday, falling to the Philadelphia Flyers, 3-2.

Ilya Kovalchuk scored in the loss and doesn't seem bothered by a knee injury that briefly sidelined him earlier this month. prior to the injury, Kovalchuk failed to get a point in four consecutive contests.

Kovalchuk leads the club with 39 tallies and 65 points and trails only Washington Capitals' phenom Alex Ovechkin (46) for the league lead in goals.
