Thrashers look for fifth straight win

Dec 5, 2006 - 3:02 PM Atlanta (17-7-4) at Toronto (13-10-5) 7:30 pm EST

TORONTO (Ticker) - The Atlanta Thrashers look for their fifth straight victory when they take on the Toronto Maple Leafs on Tuesday.

Atlanta, which has outscored its opponents, 14-5, during the streak, comes off a 3-1 triumph over the Florida Panthers on Saturday. J.P. Vigier, Glen Metropolit and Ilya Kovalchuk scored for Atlanta.

Kari Lehtonen made 27 saves for the Thrashers, who were only 1-for-8 on the power play but denied Florida on its three chances.

While the Thrashers have been playing great hockey, the opposite is true of the Maple Leafs, who are 0-3-1 in their last four.

Toronto comes off a 4-3 shootout loss to the Montreal Canadiens on Saturday. Defenseman Ian White, Mats Sundin and Kyle Wellwood scored for the Leafs in regulation.

Sundin was the lone player to score in the shootout for Toronto, which outshot the Canadiens, 39-22. Leafs goaltender Andrew Raycroft made 19 saves.
