Kovalchuk, Thrashers look to build off latest win

Mar 8, 2009 - 2:12 PM Calgary (39-20-6) at Atlanta (24-35-6), 3:00 p.m. EDT

ATLANTA (Ticker) -- Ilya Kovalchuk and the Atlanta Thrashers look to build off their latest win when they host the Calgary Flames on Sunday.

Atlanta blanked the Montreal Canadiens, 2-0, on Friday behind Kari Lehtonen's first shutout since January 8.

Kovalchuk did not score for the first time in five contests but extended his point streak to six games. The Russian has registered 11 points in those contests.

After this game, the Thrashers embark on a three-game road trip, beginning Tuesday at Colorado.

Calgary, meanwhile, had its two-game winning streak halted with a 6-1 loss to the Carolina Hurricanes on Friday.

Miikka Kiprusoff, who was rested in that drubbing in favor of backup Curtis McElhinney, needs nine wins to tie New Jersey Devils' superstar Martin Brodeur's record of 48 for the most victories in a single season, set in 2006-07.

With 17 games remaining for the Flames, the Finnish netminder remains within striking distance.
