Final - OT
for this game
Oilers hope to stay afloat in postseason race
Mar 12, 2009 - 4:43 AM Atlanta (26-35-6) at Edmonton (32-27-7), 9:30 p.m. EDTEDMONTON, Alberta (Ticker) -- The struggling Edmonton Oilers look to keep pace in the Western Conference playoff race Thursday when they host the surging Atlanta Thrashers.
The Oilers have lost seven of their last 10 contests but enter this contest tied with Nashville (33-39-5) for the seventh and eighth spots in the West.
Edmonton will look to rebound from Tuesday's 4-3 overtime loss at Montreal, which rallied thanks to Saku Koivu's goals in the third period and overtime.
Defenseman Sheldon Souray had a goal and an assist for the Oilers, who scored three times in the second period but managed a total of just nine shots in the third period and overtime.
Edmonton will host an Atlanta club that is riding a three-game winning streak and has won five of its last seven. The Thrashers posted a 3-0 victory Tuesday over Colorado thanks to Kari Lehtonen, who made 35 saves for his third shutout this season.
