Final
Islanders try to continue offensive surge
Feb 16, 2008 - 1:31 PM Atlanta (29-27-4) at NY Islanders (26-25-7) 7:00 pm ESTUNIONDALE, New York (Ticker) - Surprisingly, it was the the New York Islanders' offense that helped the team end a season-high seven-game losing streak.
The Islanders try to continue their scoring onslaught Saturday when they host the Atlanta Thrashers.
New York, the lowest scoring team in the NHL with 143 goals, has scored nine goals over its last two games. The Islanders snapped their recent skid with four goals in a one-goal victory over the Philadelphia Flyers on Tuesday and posted a 5-4 victory over the Toronto Maple Leafs on Thursday.
Ruslan Fedotenko scored two power-play goals while Bryan Berard added a tally and two assists to lead the Islanders.
Fedotenko, who has 12 goals and 16 assists this season, has scored four tallies in his last four games after ending a nine-game scoreless streak against the Pittsburgh Penguins on February 7.
The Thrashers picked up their third straight win on Friday, posting a thrilling 4-3 shootout victory over the New Jersey Devils.
Marian Hossa sent the game to overtime with just 18 seconds left in the game with his 26th goal of the season before Pascal Dupuis lifted Atlanta to victory, scoring the decisive goal in the 10th round of the shootout.
Though the team got off to a dismal start this season, Atlanta has 62 points and is tied with the Carolina Hurricanes for first place in the Southeast Division.
