Thrashers hoping to end five-game skid vs. Islanders

Dec 6, 2008 - 11:30 AM Atlanta (8-14-3) at NY Islanders (10-13-2), 7:00 pm EST

UNIONDALE, New York (Ticker) -- The Atlanta Thrashers aim to snap a five-game losing streak when they take on the New York Islanders on Saturday.

The Thrashers have struggled all season and currently have the worst record in the NHL. The team's lone bright spot, Ilya Kovalchuk is even having an off-year.

Kovalchuk, who has eight goals and a club-high 23 points, is on pace for 26 goals, which would be a career-low. In each of the last four seasons, Kovalchuk has had more than 40 goals - including a pair of 52-goal campaigns.

Atlanta, which has just one win since November 14, is coming off a 5-1 loss to the Ottawa Senators on Wednesday.

The Islanders have not fared much better, occupying the bottom of the Atlantic Division for most of the season.

New York has lost three of its previous four contests, including Thursday's 5-2 setback to the Washington Capitals. The Islanders have won three of their last four home games.
