Avalanche look to bounce back vs. lowly Thrashers

Feb 24, 2009 - 11:23 AM Colorado (28-31-1) at Atlanta (21-33-6) 7:00 p.m. EST

ATLANTA (Ticker) -- The Colorado Avalanche may be in last place in the Western Conference, but they are not nearly as bad off as the Atlanta Thrashers in the Eastern Conference.

The Avalanche will be looking to bounce back from a road loss when they visit the Thrashers on Tuesday.

Colorado was riding a three-game winning streak before running into the surging Carolina Hurricanes, suffering a 5-2 loss on Sunday. The Avalanche took 10 penalties in the contest and allowed 39 shots on goal.

But despite being mired in last place in the 15-team Western Conference, Ryan Smyth and company sit only nine points out of fifth place and seven points out of eighth in the ultra-tight conference.

Colorado is looking to make a move during its current trip despite an 11-17-1 record away from home this season.

The Thrashers, by contrast, are in second-to-last place in the East - 20 points behind eighth place and have little hope remaining.

Atlanta dropped the finale of a four-game road trip, 3-1, at San Jose on Saturday, allowing all three goals in the final period.
