McKenna, Lightling seeking back-to-back wins

Feb 10, 2009 - 2:40 PM Atlanta (18-31-5) at Tampa Bay (18-24-11), 7:30 pm EST

TAMPA, Florida (Ticker) -- The Tampa Bay Lightning may have found their starting goaltender.

Rookie Mike McKenna will look to build off his first career shutout as the Lightning host the Atlanta Thrashers on Tuesday.

Making his second career start, McKenna made 28 saves during Saturday's 1-0 triumph over the New York Islanders. The 25-year-old is 1-0-1 with a 1.57 goals-against average and .946 save percentage on the season.

Gary Roberts scored the lone goal in Saturday's victory, which snapped a four-game losing streak.

The Thrashers are hoping to avoid a third consecutive loss. Ilya Kovalchuk and Slava Kozlov recorded a goal and an assist in Sunday's 3-2 setback to the Philadelphia Flyers.

Atlanta, which owns the second worst record in the NHL, has lost six of its last seven contests.
