Thrashers eye franchise-record sixth straight win

Dec 7, 2006 - 3:23 PM Atlanta (18-7-4) at Tampa Bay (13-13-2) 7:30 pm EST

TAMPA, Florida (Ticker) - The Atlanta Thrashers march out to record their franchise-record sixth consecutive victory when they face the slumping Tampa Bay Lightning on Thursday.

With a 5-2 triumph over the Toronto Maple Leafs on Tuesday, the Thrashers matched the longest winning streak in team history. Slava Kozlov tallied twice and Glen Metropolit and defenseman Greg de Vries both added two assists as Atlanta rallied from 2-0 first-period deficit.

Johan Hedberg had 17 saves for the Thrashers, who scored five goals in the third session.

The Lighting are riding a four-game losing streak. They fell short, 4-1, to the Buffalo Sabres on Tuesday. Vincent Lecavalier netted the lone goal while Marc Denis turned away stopped 21 shots for Tampa Bay, which failed to convert on five power-play opportunities.

Atlanta's chance to make history could be in jeopardy since it has dropped three of the first four meetings with Tampa Bay this season.
