Rangers go for fourth straight vs. slumping Thrashers

Oct 30, 2008 - 10:33 AM Atlanta (2-5-2) at NY Rangers (9-2-1) 7:00 p.m. EDT

NEW YORK (Ticker) -- After ending a season-opening 10-game goalless drought, New York Rangers center Chris Drury is hoping the tallies will come in droves.

New York's captain will look to help his team win its fourth straight game when it hosts the lowly Atlanta Thrashers on Thursday.

Drury scored a pair of goals in the Rangers' 4-2 win over the New York Islanders on Monday. The Rangers have recorded a league-high 19 points through 12 games this season, doing so without much production from the former Calder Trophy winner.

The Rangers' early success has been keyed by quality play in net. Goaltenders Henrik Lundqvist and Stephen Valiquette have combined for a league-leading 1.92 goals against average.

After allowing all five goals in a 5-4 overtime loss to Detroit on October 18, Lundqvist has yielded two or less in four straight games to propel the Rangers to a three-game winning streak.

The Thrashers, who are in the midst of a four-game slide, are coming off an embarrassing 7-0 loss to the Philadelphia Flyers on Tuesday. Kari Lehtonen allowed all seven tallies, including four in the third period.

Atlanta is tied with the Islanders and Tampa Bay Lightning for the fewest wins in the NHL.
