Final
Thrashers hope to end slump vs. Hurricanes
Jan 31, 2009 - 11:29 AM Atlanta (17-28-5) at Carolina (24-21-5), 8:00 pm ESTRALEIGH, North Carolina (Ticker) -- The Atlanta Thrashers will attempt to snap a three-game losing skid when they visit the Carolina Hurricanes on Saturday.
The Thrashers surrendered four goals in the first period Thursday en route to a 5-4 loss to the New York Islanders.
Rookie defenseman Zach Bogosian is becoming a bright spot for Atlanta, which is 10-21-3 in its last 34 games.
The 18-year-old Bogosian netted his third career goal during the loss to the Islanders. He has five points and a plus-3 rating in 16 contests this season.
The Hurricanes have won three of their last four after suffering through a season-long, five-game losing streak.
All-Star Eric Staal snapped a tie with 96 seconds remaining in the third period as Carolina edged the Tampa Bay Lightning, 3-2, on Thursday. Matt Cullen recorded a goal and an assist and Chad LaRose netted the first shorthanded goal of the season.
