  for this game

Thrashers look to snap skid vs. Hurricanes

Mar 5, 2008 - 1:15 PM Carolina (34-29-5) at Atlanta (29-31-7) 7:00 pm EST

ATLANTA (Ticker) - The Atlanta Thrashers will try to end a season-high seven-game losing streak when they host the Southeast Division-leading Carolina Hurricanes on Wednesday.

The Thrashers are 0-4-3 in that stretch - but the non-regulation defeats have come in their last three games.

After falling 5-4 in overtime to the New York Islanders on Thursday, Atlanta lost to both the Boston Bruins on Saturday and the Pittsburgh Penguins on Sunday by identical 3-2 scores. Both of those games went to a shootout.

Despite their troubles, the Thrashers - who are in 14th place in the Eastern Conference - are just eight points behind the Hurricanes.

Carolina has been on a roll as of late, posting a 7-2-1 record in its last 10 games. On Saturday, Sergei Samsonov had two goals and an assist to propel the Hurricanes to a 5-1 victory over the lowly Tampa Bay Lightning.

This season, the Hurricanes have had little trouble against the Thrashers, posting a 3-1-1 record against their division foe.
